File: WebProxy.exe


WebProxy.exe provides the personal web proxy to the host on the Internet. This is installed as part of the Panda Antivirus suite. This process helps prevent disclosure of user’s host identity on the Internet making it susceptible to identity thefts by phishing or other fraudulent means by displaying a false identity on the Internet although authentication with the service provider continues to occur with the original IP.http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/webproxy.exe.html 

If you want a detailed security rating about your WebProxy.exe (and all other running background processes) read the following user opinions, and download the free trial version of Security Task Manager.

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. 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!

rate4 Sometimes the diagnosis of Panda Platinum internet security says my computer has a low protection degree. If I start Webproxy, then the same diagnosis tells me that my PC is very well protected. I inserted the instruction to start Webproxy in the startup section for all users under the section "run" in the registry". But the effect still remains unchanged. I have to start manually the program to obtain a good protection.

rate3 Adding more comments: I just installed Panda onto my computer, a three-months trial version that was on a CD bundled with a mag, I just bought. After installation the computer(brand new with very little on it) slowed down considerably. After checkin I noticed webproxy.exe using between 82 and 99 % of CPU-time. After uninstalling Panda, webproxy.exe were nowhere to be found.   Anders Vretenäs

rate1 This file does belong to panda antivirus. I cannot terminate this process. I wonder why panda requires 2 processes: AVENGINE.EXE and webProxy.exe to run....The former consumes quite a lot of resources...(usually 24MBs to 40MBs)   Anchit
rate0 When I start IE sometimes my home page can't be found. If I remve the running program WEBPROXY.EXE (PANDA) it works ok   maggie

rate4 It used up 100% computer resources for so much time I had to abort.  
rate4 Does consume a lot of memory. Panda is actually one of the most stupid antivirus software ever created! Consumes more than McAffee or Norton   User
rate4 Helped a friend of mine who happend to get bandwith limiter or something.. she could ping out WAN but not use any webbrowser, so i asked her to open and chek the processes and there we instantly terminated the process, and voila the internet worked perfect. think it's considerlly dumb of Panda to have such a process? if it's theire file of course

rate1 WebProxy.exe is a vital part of Panda Platinum Internet Security 2007. I have used this product for two years without any unreasonable loads on my CPU. No problems with slow downs either browsing or using computer programs. I strongly reccomend Panda to others.  See also: Link   Serenity

rate3 I have the Panta also from a mag for three months but It does't take a alot of resources to me just 9k of memory and near to 0 CPU.   Elias
rate2 I'm going to try to reinstall the program since it's giving me a problem. Upon startup, my task bar gets loaded with WebProxy.exe and cannot terminate this process.   Juan
rate0 File belongs to Panda Software Antivirus, its part of the built in firewall.  
rate1 Tried for days to get rid of a nasty virus. Finally got rid of it, except one thing - my internet would just "stop working" for no reason. Turns out if my laptop goes in standby mode and get's turned back on, there's no Internet. Poorly written software? I don't know, but when I end this task, I get my Internet back. I'm un-installing Panda right now!   para-dice
rate1 This is the HTTP protection component process of Panda Security anti-virus and should only be terminated if you are experiencing specific issues sorrunding connecting to the web, after which contact Panda to address the problem, terminating the process will prevent the AV software scanning HTTP traffic for malicious traffic.  See also: Link   Pieman
rate4 It makes the internet to slow down like 40%...   Hellomoto! :D
rate0 resoucre hog, no good for anything  
rate0 It's intricately integrated with Windows Internet Explorer so that if its disabled, IE will not work properly.  See also: Link   Rosario De Medici
rate3 Panda is the worst antivirus I have ever installed. It prevents from internet access while it's working on background.   mridulsouth
rate3 it is sending data over the network without telling me   Robban

rate3 It seems to block pop3-Traffic (without webproxy the traffic works very well). I'll try some whitelisting...   mopped
