What The Heck Is OCSCtl.exe?

I was going through the list of programs in NIS 2009 Program Control. I found a listing that I'm not too sure about. It's OCSCtl.exe.

I did a search on Google and a couple of other search engines, and they all took me to the PrevX site. Basically it just says it has something to do with Symantec. I couldn't find anything else anywhere. I asked at the Norton forum, but haven't gotten a answer as to what it is.

Does anyone here know what OCSCtl.exe is? I have it Allowed in Program Control, but I'm thinking of removing it.

 

If you email the file to support@misec.net I can tell you what it is.

 

Magnus,

Thank you for the quick reply. I e-mailed you the file.

 

Why would you remove part of a program? Using a keygen or crack or something? I don't think that any offical company is after scary things when you install their software.

 

This is a legitimate Symantec file belonging to Norton Antivirus 2009. It's used for inventoring the different file versions of the NAV components. It's perfectly safe and nothing to worry about.

 

Magnus.........Thank you very much doing the research. Very much appreciated. At least now I know what the file is.
