| I have LoJack so it makes sense...till further notice See also: Link Ed |
 | Also comes with rpcnet.dll, rpcnetp.exe, rpcnetp.dll in \Windows\System32 folder. File sizes of these files can vary since the rpcnet writes logs into these associated files. Controls IE to connect to "search.namequery.com" continuously whenever an internet connection is available. Activities are like a spyware, but for lost/stolen computer tracking purposes. If it acts like spyware, works like a spyware, it is a spyware! Fortunately, it can be removed by regedit. See also: Link darnit |

 | I was told by a dell service representative that it's a crazy hard core trojan that can break any security. I asked If it had anything to do with lojack and he said no. I have lojack installed on my system but he said that it had nothing to do with it... I am a skeptical of Dell now... The dude couldn't fix my computer and I still get the error about rpcnet to this day and I was told to turn my computer back to the factory settings... LAME I am going to try to find another way Matt |
| Use it for my LoJack service via dell. Not at all harmfull. Codeman |
| 'Absolute' claims it can remotely destroy HD on command, but when asked how that power is protected from accidents they provided NO technical assurance, just marketing/salesman BS. It acts like spyware, works like spyware, and can destroy your computer. If it could spread we'd call it a virus! Daniel Johnson |
| It's reading from disk like it's indexing something. The fact that it runs under Internet Explorer doesn't make it a lot better... It's keeping me from doing my work, so I suggest to remove it. Niels |
| I have it. It's not a cute littl lojack working for your best interest any longer! It's tracking you. Wake up. It's tracking you. |
 | cant click on links on websites, cant log onto yahoo, can only right click on links on the web and hit copy and cant fill ANY forms out on the net. THIS JUST STARTED. I have had lo jack for over a month now and thi shieit just started. kim |
| I don't have Lojack and TrendMicro says it's a new service which is making unauthorized changes. Therefore, I blocked it. Carl |
| LoJack for Laptops. Runs at startup as Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Net in msconfig under services and can be disabled. Red |
| It is also located in the boot sector-Reqired for Lojack RGW |
| Followed my anti virus softwares reccomendation and deleted it, then my lojack software sent a warning to the company. This file is indeed connected to Lojack for laptops Lillian |
| Lojack For laptops remote procedure CALL, its a file that calls lojack and tells them where your computer is if it is stolen. |
| rpcnet was soimehow actvated on my laptop but I didn't know it was related to Lo Jack which I have installed and registered. Ned Hoover |
| NSA tracking software/flashing bios will not remove delta |
| It is an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) file used by many systems. If you see connections to search.namequery.com more than once every 30 minutes, then your machine may have been flagged by computrace as stolen. See also: Link Fred |
| I've never heard LoJack or Absolute software before. But this Rpcnet.exe did exist in my computer. I deleted it. Confused |
| Computrace Lojack |
| It is used by a trojan that hijacks explorer (desktop) disable together with wctsys solves problem LAPUERTA |
| 'Absolute' claims it can remotely control and can disble your computer. And it did to mine. I have no lojack or any of their software. How did it get in my computer? how did it hijacked explorer making my computer unusable. They are "investigating" No solution. This is serious. Remove this parasite if you can! Larry Francis |
| We never installed that program shamus |
| Its the process that integrates with laptop lojack (computrace). Its harmless and helps you get your laptop back when its stolen. You want this thing running if you ever want to see your laptop back after its been nabbed. Northern Engineer. |
| It is indeed Computrace. You can remove it, but the BIOS will push it back. This is mainly seen on Lenovo and Dell but others are jumping on. Your IT guys can now track you on a map and see an inventory of eberything on your PC. In fact, with Absolute, they can remote wipe your PC. Then can snap a photo of you with the webcam and you would never know. I know what I'm talking about because I am that IT guy. osu9400 |

| Remote program from Absolute Software. Canīt use my laptop cause of 100% cpu usage :/ FULL-BLOCK Internet Explorer!!! Itīs used to send & recieve data from/to your machine. "AS" can download your whole harddrivedisk. Block IE & use Firefox. After starting laptop, just open taskmanager & end "rpcnet". After 1 min. everything will be fast as before Dave Komarac |
| Probably a backdoor keylogger or malicious hijacker. rpcnet.dll - the Digital signature is not valid (see properties of the file and look at details). Mine was signed at March 3, 2009 12:38:52 pm by Verisign. Version 8.0.885.0 56,680 File size is 56680. It is evil incarnate. Fixer for guy who doesn't update Windows |
| actually I was succesful in removing the program Christine |
| absolute software computrace, embedded in bios reloads if wiped on next boot, needs bios tools to kill cant just reflash freddy |
| Comodo says that is a trojan, and I figured out that it is working like a trojan! Samuel Mäki |
| Definitely is LoJack for Laptops process, not harmful. A cop who has dealt with Lojack |
| Safari dynamically altered on Macs by BIOS Agent. IP is whitelisted by security software. Blockable by altering routing table. Black Hat 2009 Conference presented this for PCs, but it seems it also applies to Macs. See also: Link leftblank15 |
| It's a trojan and installed remotely without permission.Remove and block.Remove and block.I say again,,REMOVE AND BLOCK.Keep your anti virus up to date as well. sec con |
| This is not dangerous its included with your laptop from dell or what ever company you buy your laptop from its there for a reason , to stop theft it only tracks your laptop location if you physically set it up to do that i've been all though it and if you read the booklet that comes with your laptop then you will see that it only purpuse is to track via internet its also says the information is not shared and it cannot remotly access your laptop or take pictures like you said up the top , this is illegal to do this as it is anauthorized access. This product is used by the police so how can it be harmful See also: Link Sam |
| If you have NOT subscribed to LoJack for Laptops, this process absolutely SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING AS A PROCESS. Absolute Software, which actually runs Lojack for Laptops, claims that this process NEVER operates unless LoJack has been activated. This is a flat out lie - which if it is running and you dont have LoJack you can see. Absolute also states that the file rpcnetp.exe and or rpcnetp.dll will not been downloaded on your computer unless you have purchased LoJack. Check for either of these files. Do yo have it? Then note when it says it was last accessed or modified. If your computer is like mine, these files will usually have been within the last 6 hours. So, you have a file or files specifically designed to access EVERYTHING on your computer and transmit the information, allegedly to help recover it, that is actively at work doing something, very regularly, on your machine. Why would that happen? THIS IS A BAD PROCESS! Bruce Alan |
| I opened the file while my computer was in safe mode. I opened the file all the way and deleted the files from the inside out. When the inside files were gone I was then allowed the delete the folder. Hope it helps. Robert M. |
| It's a friggin root kit along w/ the files rpcnetp.exe and rpcnetp.dll |
| well something has learned to take advantage of this exe by making a dll of the same name rpcnet.dll, it then will be a nightmare, so the original file is fine, but the spawns from the dll are a problem Joe |
| A process that maliciously tracks user activity and browsing activity. There may be another process named 'rpcnet' that is legitimate, but this one is parasitic and should be removed. bd |

| I do not have Lojack or belong to any such program- this just suddenly appeared the other day. After my AVG located and removed, I have not had internet access, and cannot get it back. Unsure if this is a coincedence, but really nervous. How long was it there before it was caught?? That's my main concern. C |
| Your claim " If you have any problems with rpcnet.exe, you can uninstall Computrace or CompuTrace Plus from your computer using the Control Panel applet "Add/Remove programs"." is wrong. This is part of the backdoor component that is NOT removed. I have it even without any computrace subscription or warning, thancs to Acer. |
