Today I saw a new program in Add/Remove Programs called Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable. This program was not there before. Could this be that a hacker has installed it on my Computer? What does it do? Can I safely remove it?
Could this be installed by a hacker?
No I have this on mine too and it is from an update from Microsoft so it can't be from an hacker. The offical download link is below of it and from there you can read about this and what it does.
Reply:visual c++ is probably not a virus. Make sure you have a good anti virus before doing anything in case there is a risk. I am 99% it isn't a virus.
Reply:It is possible, but more likely would have neerded a local logon to install it. If you are 100% sure it was not there before, uninstall it.
Reply:no, if u installed a program this might have came with it
