All comments about apache.exe: Ava3ar It is used to run the Apache server, basiclly if you code in PHP and dont want ot upload to a server to test this allows it, si one way of explaining it, the offical site explaisn it better  See also: Link Carny Das ist der Apatche Webserver  See also: Link Apache Web Server Use for Running a php server Mirrakor Apache Webserver, "harmless" as all webservers, not needet by windows  See also: Link Pr@eto Apache Web Server Raven Apache web server  See also: Link Apache Core Web Server - Belongs on your system only if you installed it, or as part of another application hosting web services. Review the httpd.conf file for the ports it listens on.  See also: Link Chris Miller Webserver, can be "hacked" DBEKrause ein zu z. B. IIS alternativer Webserver, der m. W. vor allem gut mit PHP und MySQL zusammenarbeitet, daher meine Bewertung als bedingt notwendig für andere Software wie PHP, MySQL. Leider erscheinen unter Win2000 Pro (nt bei Apache) permanent lästige Fehlermeldungen der Apache.exe, die aber offenbar keine schwerwiegenden Folgen haben.  See also: Link Dirk Vleugels ultra bad virus  See also: Link Michael Beranger Part of Nvidia Forceware on all Nfoce 3 & Nforce 4 chipsets both socket 754 & 939 This allows you acces to the chips hardware firewall & ehternet  See also: Link ACEBRAVO You have installed it along with other software. Its not a threat. I found it cam e when I installed my nvidia firewall for my nforce 4. Bobby Hartsfield Webserver. If you didn't install it, don't panic... many apps with web based adminstration install this (such as Nvidia's Network Access Manager) and normally the settings are for local access only. zaphod Apache Web Server as others said. My Apache Group files are located in my NVIDIA Network Access Manager program folder. ALP Is launched by the control panel for the NVIDIA hardware firewall feature found on some nForce-based motherboards. Jerry Lowetz I have this on my XP, keeps respawning, but NO webserver installed. Definitely not right. Used for running a PHP webserver If u never installed a web server, then it is Nvidia Forceware, of course it can be as the "smart" guys say: Apache Web Server... löl Master Nur Server Anwendung für PHP und My SQL zilpher Apache webserver, ignore comment spam from Dirk Vleugels  See also: Link Sc Bundled with Mobos as Nforce chipset modifiers Somethief Apache webserver  See also: Link BK apache webserver, very secure, just let it run... Slam Apache Web Server - Can be hacked, can cause problems... I don't think it's apache. It's not apache2.x anyways. My apache runs under httpd.exe. Maybe apache 1.x is run under the name apache.exe? My friend has this running and he uses the nvidia firewall that was given with his nforce mobo. David absolutly harmless, had it on my comp for years and have never had any problems, just the occasional error, which is expected for a windows program Rick Gillespie (Driftek Computer Systems) Apache HTTP Server needs to act as a server with Nvida Forceware. It's not that important if you're not using the forceware in full capacity. On the other hand, as Michael B. noted, it allows this allows you to have access to the Nf firewall (Armor) that Nvidia installed. This will cause conflict if you decide to install a "BETTER" firewall. Sollution: Deny server rights and uninstall "Armor" firewall. Hence, you'll have no need or worry about Apache. Bottom line: Harmless! Talk to Nvidia Support to calm your nerves :-)  See also: Link puckelhontas Normally the (self-installed) Apache Web Server, but comes also along with the NVidia Web Access Manager (which is part of many ASUS Mainboards, especially the M2N series). J3FF It is safe -proven- tg nvidia forcware. scared me at first too  See also: Link Cyber If its the nvidia related Apache.exe stop all processes in the task manager, search your harddrive for it, right click the exe and set compatability for 98 apply, ok, then double click and all is well! Tayfun Esmer the only thing i know about apache.exe is ; it is dangerous enough for me to stay away from it. John Ellis APACHE.exe is part of the nVidia nForce 3 & 4 chipsets [firewall]. What is important , is to see where it is located, it's main function, size, and how it is running. Normally being part of nVidia's Forceware, causes very little problems. It also is important as to what kind of Firewall YOU are using. I use Jetico, and I do NOT let most programs out! Apache.exe is also on my PC, but it is rather dormant, because it can NOT go out. If it is allowed, then it IS possible that it may [attract] some unwanted [side-] affects. Basicall, it IS a toss-up. Do you NEED it? Again, yes and no, Yodler It is the application file for NetworkAccessManager NVIDIA Corporation If you know more about apache.exe, share your knowledge and help other users.
