Does anyone know anything about an application named SyncServices.exe? Could it be malware?

This is what I found about it.

Maxtor OneTouch Backup - SYNCSERVICES.EXE

SyncServices.exe will appear in your c:\Program Files\Maxtor\OneTouch\Utils\ folder. It installs with the drivers for the Maxtor external Firewire (1394) and USB 2.0 Combo Drives. According to Maxtor, "Just press a button and the Maxtor OneTouch drive will make backup copies of your files from your internal drive." If you use this functionality, leave this file in place.

To get help with your Maxtor drive or to download the lastest software, visit http://www.maxtor.com/en/support/products/index.htm.

Thanks for the info, and your effort. Now that I know it is associated with Maxtor, I’ll rest easy. Smile
