C:\WINDOWS\system32\pgdfgsvc.exe -- Is this a legit xp file? anyone??

C:\WINDOWS\system32\pgdfgsvc.exe

Searched the registry for pgdfgsvc. Nothing..

I found nothing searching Google.


I also did a local files search and noticed that the C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository\FS\OBJECTS.BTR and C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository\FS\INDEX.DATA were accessed at approximately the same time pgdfgsvc.exe was created.

Hi socom1,

That appears to be the name of a legitimate Pagefile Defrag utility. Refer to

There is one of these utilities on Sysinternal's site but it has a slightly different name but maybe yours is an older version?

Have you tried submitting the file for analysis? You might try

Hope this helps somewhat
