Most Common Malware Related Processes-Hidn2.exe

hidn2.exe is installed by a mass mailing worm that also uses a rootkit in a bid to remain undetected on your computer. As such, it can be very difficult to locate and remove manually, with preference being given to the use of automated security software. The worm is spread by email, and once installed it uses its own SMTP engine to further propagate to email addresses it can find on your system. As well as emailing itself to your contacts, this mass mailer will also attempt to lower the security settings on your PC leaving you open to further infection from other online threats.

The file can be found in its own folder, usually named hidn and found in the Application Data subfolder of your system folder. On installation a registry entry is also added so that the worm runs whenever you start your computer. Users that have been infected with this worm and have hidn2.exe running on their system should use antispyware or antivirus software in order to treat the infection properly and quickly.
