Acrotray

Acrotray definition of

There are unfortunately 2 ( Two ) forms of Acrotray

One very useful indeed, and the other a Virus

You can tell the difference, and I will explain how but first the Good guy:‐

Acrotray (1) AcroTray.exe

(Adobe) Adobe Acrobat Assistant.

This background task is installed when you install the full version of Adobe Acrobat.

It comes into action when you create PDF files from non Adobe applications through the

“Watched Folders” feature of Acrobat Distiller.

The full path to this program should be :‐

“C: \ Program Files \ Adobe \ etc..... \ Acrotray.exe”.

This is usually harmless, but the thing to note is it’s path for therein lies the clue to good

or bad

Acrotray (2) [ The Bad guy]

Adobe Acrobat Distiller Application Acrotray.exe

If the path to this program is anywhere inside the Windows folder, i.e.

“C:\Windows\System\Acrotray.exe” or

“C:\WinNT\System32\Acrotray.exe” or

“C:\Windows\System32\Acrotray.exe”,

You certainly have a virus such as the W32.Randex.DFJ virus.

Run your Anti‐virus program quickly before anything else.

These sad people use anything to hide their sickness. My question is who pays them?

There is only one group who benefit from Viruses Who? You say Think about it, shouldn’t take you long Clue :‐ Who gets rid of them?

Just a suggestion
