 Alex | Input Locales Traybar icon is used to change regional settings |
| KnowAll | KB selector |
 Carlos D. Garza | It appears to be handling the keyboard locals. Next to the time on the lower right courner you should see your language displayed. In my case its "EN" for english. Ending this process should remove it from the tray. Siehe auch: Link |
 wolf on the loose | there are two versions of internat.exe and the most comon one is as you say for language settings of your keyboard but here is the kicker there is also a internat.exe that is part of a virus/trojan `password stealer abd should definatly be investigated if you dont run more than one language on the pc keyboard settings Siehe auch: Link |
| Mihnea | if u have "aston shell" installed, is one of aston's files Siehe auch: Link |
| Arne | It's not dangerous, it's a process started by Windows. |
| Hugh G. Rection | It runs with Aston shell (explorer replacement). |
| Joseph | Definatel;y been having problems with it... Keyboard setting should not be activating the internet. I was forced to block transmissions on my firewall program before deleting it. There are two Internat.exe, and one is a Trojan horse, but as yet i don't know how to identify the other |
| Negster22 | If it is the Netsnake virus it will reside in the C;\windows folder, if its a system file it will be in c:\windows\system32. (for XP) Use this to differentiate. Also the good process has a ZIP icon, while the virus has a "?" icon Siehe auch: Link |
| Brian | On my computer (Win 2000), the good file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM has a "?" icon and I don't have the virus so I wouldn't worry about the "?" icon. See the link for how to tell if you have the virus and what to do about it. Siehe auch: Link |
| dkcc | I have the internat.exe file with the "?" icon in athe c:\windows\system32 file. Also, checking the version under properties, I find it's got a Microsoft signature. |
| bleedproof | In windows 2000, the one with the "?" icon ist the good one! |
 dieterpapa | Ist ein Trojaner, schwer zu entfernen |
| MagicMad1337 (m&m) | In google suche ist die internat.exe als Trojaner identifiziert worden Siehe auch: Link |
| | this have to do with the region options under your control panel try open the region option, then to the input locales tab and uncheck the "enable indicator on taskbar and the internat.exe will dissapear |
| MORT, | Used to switch between language charsets. But can be infected by worms!!! |
| fed-up guy | "In windows 2000, the one with the "?" icon ist the good one! " That is not correct !! It is infected if it has the ? !! |
| Maha | I have Win 98 and the icon with a "?" not only has a microsoft signature, but is located at the c:\windows\system folder, not the c:\windows\system32. |
 machinesurgeon | I have rated this as dangerous to flag up a potential trojan/ password thief. There are two versions of internat.exe. The official microsoft version has a ? icon and is used for keyboard language selection. The trojan has a zip file icon and is nasty, stealing passwords and using e-mail to forward them to the initiator. Siehe auch: Link |
| Holf | The one in c:\windows\system32 is related to Keyboard Locales. If you remove all Keyboard Locales except for one, after reboot you'll notice the icon for selecting keyboard language in the taskbar is gone. And the internat.exe process will no longer run on startup. |
| charismagic | MS digitally signed exe, which enables language switching in the taskbar and loads as a boot process. In any other location apart from sysroot, it could be malicious. |
| virtuellesue | internat.exe = tastatur-layout-umschaltung (z.b. DE/EN) |
| Faris | i have two copies in c:/winnt/system32 both with the '?' - does that mean it's ok? |
| HVH Systems bvba, Belgium | it runs in memory and networkconnection is impossible. I deleted it in start up, and after restarting the pc, the network connections are all right again ! |
| Dr Ken James | hello.. dont worry, this is only international keyboard (other than thte default, english.) take it from the doc.. to see for yourself, its simple.. just after a fresh load of w98, you wont see internat running with you press CTRL ALT and Delete (which shows the programs or tasks that are running).. However, when you go to control panel and keyboards and load a new language keyboard (russian, for ex), then you will see internat running, when you press CTRL ALT delete) its as simple as that.. all the best.. the doc..

| Bruv1 | Windows 2000 SP4 - File is in c:\winnt\system32 and c:\winnt\system32\dllcache. Created date SHOULD BE 07 December 1999, 12:00:00. Icon SHOULD be question mark. Loads from HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run |
| Neto | Not an trojan, just clik on an blue icon that is shown next to the clock an disable it from runing everytime |
| DataFighter | Das Umschalten zwischen verschiedenen Sprachen (in Deutschland meistens Deutsch = DE und Englisch = EN) wird durch die “internat.exe” ermöglicht. |
| ds | Microsoft provided file is not needed for english windows users. I have sucessfully deleted both copies \i386 (install from dir) & \winnt\system32, windows complianed about a missing system file but works fine after I denied replacing it. |
| silvio | i had it and its a trojan...always popup windows from the internet explorer appeared...(and i use mozilla). but when i "ended process" in the task manager, no popups came back. |
 mo | looks like a system file, etc but giving me a headache - illegal error message coming up all the time |
| feenixx | If you've got Gladiators Aston installed, untick 'Show keyboard indicator' from AMaster's Boot configuration screen to disable process. |
| psimon | just a ms windows file |
| | is it a worm file |
| flyingdutchman2001 | internat.exe befindet sich im systemordner sytem32(xp) oder system(win98). habe nachdem ich netzwerkaktivitäten entdeckt hatte, in zonealarm nachgeschaut. da wurde diese anwendung als(prototype) enttarnt. habe dann die internat.exe gesucht und (AUCH NOCH) in den ordner "autostart" gefunden. dort habe ich sie entfernt. neu gestartet und die netzwerkaktivitäten fanden ein ende. ich glaube eher an zombie-virus, der rechner auf der ganzen welt benutzt, um daten(viren) zu verbreiten. |
| fork | bei mir (win 2k) war internat.exe auch dieses programm zur umschaltung der tastaturbelegung aber NoAdware meint darin einen trojaner oder sowas (NetSnake) erkannt zu haben |
| Scott | My 1999 good version of internat is 28672 bytes. In win 98, if you install another language support, you may notice the "E" icon in your tray. If you stop the internat process and place yuor cursor over the "E" it should go away which indicates you did not have the virus internat. |
| | in my case the system works a lot faster when i disabled the file from startup options, however, i dunno if it was a virus of some kind but at least i cant see the keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the screen |
| armageddon | my pc starts to run by typing itself. looking at administration accounts, searching special files. and the only program, which is running at startup is internat.exe |
| delmonte | es ist bei Windows 200o die Tastatur Umschalt funktion, einfach das DE zeichen in der Taskbar anklicken und das erscheinen in den eigenschaften wegklicken. |
| Nasi | Wenn man einen Rechtsklick auf das DE Symbol macht und die Sprachanzeige (Taskleiste) ausschaltet, dann verschwindet der Prozess aus dem Autostart. |
| jeff x7 | mine is a question mark. I tried to open it. and there came up an EN symbol at the bottom right. I think it's used for bilingual keyboard input. |
| Ayenew | in what way and system it works |
| Ü | internat.exe is a service to change languaje of keyboard. If you go to Inicio/Setings/ControlPanel/Keyboard-Lenguajes, and uncheck option "Hability icon in TaskBar, the internat.exe service is desactivated. |
| someone | There are two types of this file. One legit and one which is a harmful file. It is important to know which one you have. |
| R. Comello | leave it in startup |
| Internat Cat | I think it is a dodgy file and someone is watching what we are doing. I tried to delete the file from Windows/System folder under Windows ME. It deleted and then replicated itself in the same folder with a numvger of deleted files buidling up in the recycle bin. Still trying to find out how to get rid of it permanently. |
| hukido | Path: C:\WIN98\SYSTEM\INTERNAT.EXE Version: 4.80.3008.0001 Company Name: Microsoft Corporation |
| thisiswhatitisinmycase | If you have aston theme installed untick show keyboard indicater in aston master to stop process |
| Joe | Here's the scoop. I just installed INTERNAT.EXE from the Microsoft download site. INTERNAT.EXE is now in C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM with a dark blue icon and white question mark [?]. Just right click and check the properties. It shows Microsoft Corporation and other valid data. I now have traditional Chinese viewable to my browser. Some previous posts say the [?] icon says virus. Not so. |
| ToughGuy | I deleted the Internat.exe because it only was starting when i connected to the internet...the switching between US and GER keyboard settings is still available...i located it in the system32 |
| PIRATE | Internat causes an ERROR when closing IE on my fully updated NEW installation of win98 ... Who needs it ? (maybe rename exe) |
| kabayan | I always use mozilla everywhere and internat.exe is never started. Symantec says the virus is 80kb and the original is 20kb. This one is 40kb, maybe a variant. I renamed the file, this is the only way to disable its unauthorized startup. |
| Respice Finem | there are 2 versions, yes! 1 is save, the other is not! use a good free or legitimit antivirus program to be sure, avira/antivir for example Siehe auch: Link |
| Baba_GiNa_:)- | 1. it's a service to change language of keyboard 2. it's a virus |
| Marco | One version is good another is bad. If you have a a blue icon on the R/H of taskbar right click it and it will explain what it is, on WinXP/Win98 you can run the "msconfig" command (START RUN) and deselect it from starting up automatically. If it still loads after this then it might be the virus. Will make a page on my site for more resources when I get the time. Siehe auch: Link |
| Gavin (South Africa) | Found on most of supported PC, that have IE connection issues and on our Domain continuos account lockouts. |
| Roadkill Armadillo | The legit one is ~20K, the trojan is ~35K go to Semantek for removal tools; also I;ve heard conflicting reports about the icon; the most reliable source says the '?' icon is on the legit version. Siehe auch: Link |
| aati11 | Worms and trojans used this file name. |
| Carston, IT | This file can part of virus which my company is still recovering from, be weary check process explorer to see if its running, if so you may have a worm. It is a legit file from microsoft as well, if you are worried you may have an infection delete the file. If you are not experiencing any problems, leave the file |
