LogMeIn Hamachi Tunneling Engine – hamachi-2.exe – Program Information

%ProgramFiles% refers to the Program Files folder. The path to this folder is C:\Program Files\ or C:\Program Files (X86)\ depending on whether the version of Windows or the program being installed is 32-bit or 64-bit.

This startup entry is a Windows Driver. A driver is a program, that when started, allows Windows to communicate with specific hardware or virtual devices that are installed on your computer. Therefore, if you disable a Windows Driver, the piece of hardware that it was designed to work with may no longer work or have limited functionality.

This program is required to run on startup in order to benefit from its functionality or so that the program will work. The following information is a brief description of what is known about this file. If you require further assistance for this file, feel free to ask about in the forums .

It is assumed that users are familiar with the operating system they are using and comfortable
with making the suggested changes. BleepingComputer.com will not be held responsible if
changes you make cause a system failure.

This is NOT a list of tasks/processes taken from Task Manager or
the Close Program window (CTRL+ALT+DEL) but a list of startup applications,
although you will find some of them listed via this method. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL identifies programs
that are currently running – not necessarily at startup.
Therefore, before ending a task/process via CTRL+ALT+DEL just because it has an “X” recommendation,
please check whether it’s in MSCONFIG or the registry first.
An example would be “svchost.exe” – which doesn’t appear in either under normal conditions but does via CTRL+ALT+DEL.
If in doubt, don’t do anything.
