 darnit | 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 |

 Matt | 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 |
| Codeman | Use it for my LoJack service via dell. Not at all harmfull. |
| Daniel Johnson | '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! |
| Niels | 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. |
| | 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. |
 kim | 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. |
| Carl | I don't have Lojack and TrendMicro says it's a new service which is making unauthorized changes. Therefore, I blocked it. |
| Red | LoJack for Laptops. Runs at startup as Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Net in msconfig under services and can be disabled. |
| RGW | It is also located in the boot sector-Reqired for Lojack |
