What is it?
SSCRun.exe is a program file which may have arrived on your computer if you have installed the AOL software. AOL is a worldwide ISP service and a massive web portal. This file may appear in your program startup. The actual proper disk location is also shown below, so always verify the location to make sure your file is not spyware or adware related. This is called the SSC install helper, and it appears to be a firewall related plugin for AOL. AOL installs this with their 9.0 software version, although with mine I removed this file from the startup as I don’t need any other firewall related items running. This file is considered safe and is not considered spyware related. Visit sscrun.exe for complete information on this task or process.
