rate1 normally a bone-fide windows process/file.  See also: Link   ck
rate3 on my machine, it does nothing but waste memory.. I'd rather just be rid of it, as ending the process does not cause any system errors.   R. C.
rate1 Relevent Knowledge uses this program to get online. Disabling Relevant Knowledge stopped it from starting.   Spaztech
rate2 Part of Windows Media Edition   Jonathan
rate3 I saw unsecapp.exe for the first time in my task manager AFTER I installed Ad-Aware. I ended the process & nothing happened. It was taking up too much procesing power.   men
rate1 Since installing version 8, and now updated to 8.2.3, I notice that whenever I enable Ad-Aware it (or Windows XP SP3) invokes a Windows (application or program) process named unsecapp.exe The best Microsoft explanation that I have found, thus far, states that "The Unsecapp.exe application is used to send results back to a client in a process that may not have permissions to be a DCOM service."   Jean
rate0 It looks like a back door to unsecured appartment: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa392289%28v=vs.85%29.aspx   Alex
rate0 got two error messages from ad aware stating that it had to shut down. System crashed blue screen. this time when i got the error the first time i quit everything i was running to do a bit of diagnostics and found unsecapp in task manager. ended the program and nothing has happened. thanks for your help   brian
rate3 Process Explorer verifies this as a genuine Microsoft file (XP SP3) and PC Pitstop verifies that it is "a process found on Microsoft Windows server and workstation suites which offers support towards compatibility issues". PCPitstop offers verification MD5 hashes to help determine if the file is legitimate. Mine runs all the time, using only 2MB of my 4GB of RAM. It passes triple AV scans and spyware scans, so I'm not worried.  See also: Link   Iman Oldgeek
rate1 Secure program, part of Windows WMI subsistem. Unsecapp is part of the system WMI provider interface structure. It is a Sink (callback validator) to receive asynchronous callbacks for WMI client application running in different processes. WMI, Windows Management Instrumentation, enables software developers to write scripts and programs for the management or querying of devices, user accounts, Windows services, running programs, networking, and many other internal technical aspects of Windows. This particular task, UNSECAPP.EXE, is started by Windows when a program needs to use WMI programming - it provides programs with a conduit (sink) to receive from Windows the results of their WMI queries and commands. Leave alone - if this program is running it is because Windows started it automatically in order to support a program that is using WMI. To go more deep in knowing it's use, go to this link: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/10539/Making-WMI-Queries-In-C  See also: Link   Bert It 64
rate0 Showed up after installing uTorrent. Then, several incidents of Windows Explorer crashing. Restarts & registry cleaning needed after each time using uTorrent. Still not sure if this process pertains to issues...   LiLetea
