vshare.386 is a system process that enables the sharing of files and application data (such as through the OLE standard) in Windows 3.1. This process is not needed on any versions of Windows from Windows 95 onward. If you are running Windows 3.x you probably should not terminate this process, but it may be time to consider an upgrade. :)http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/vshare.386.html

If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!

rate1 used to free up conventional memory (instead of "share") according to http://www.empowermentzone.com/w31tips.txt  
rate1 Diese Datei gab es schon bei Windows 3.1 und war der Ersatz für die Datei Share.exe.   Nano
rate1 Per "support.microsoft.com": Many Windows-based applications that support OLE 2.0 require file-sharing and file-locking capabilities to be enabled. This is accomplished by loading VSHARE.386 in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file or by loading SHARE.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  See also: Link   Henry
