Suspicious process HASPLMS.EXE

Hi Joe,

I'm looking for some anwsers about this process. It is in the PrevX database here:
http://spywarefiles.prevx.com/RRCFDA43292160/HASPLMS.EXE.html

The one on my disk is exactly 1,757,696 bytes and is described as "Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd. " "Aladdin HASP License Manager Service".

Its version number is "12.20.1.3886". It can be found at "C:\Windows\system32\hasplms.exe"

Well, actually, the exact same info can be found on the PrevX webpage. Which why I think it is odd PrevX doesn't alert me.

Some strange observations:

1)PrevX on my computer does not flag this process as malicious
2) it broadcasts a 40 byte payload using sourceport 49152 and destination port 1947

Sorry if I made lots of typo's as it is very late over here now)

 

Can you Please follow the instructions in this post to send a scan log to Prevx for further investigation: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=245129 for now I will close this thread and if a Prevx Mod wants to reopen he can!

TIA,

TH
