The program called Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable was installed on my PC(Vista). I did not download it. Could it be that my computer is hacked and a hacker installed this program to do something malicious?
Hacker installed this?
It is installed by software you installed recently . It is a software made by microsoft .
Reply:I don't think it's a virus.
Do you use Microsoft update for your PC?
I think all vista's have that file.

Reply:Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable is used by a LOT of programs that run on Vista %26amp; XP!!! That's why it's installed on your PC.
Don't remove this or you'll find a lot of your programs don't work anymore!!! This is a very safe program made by Microsoft...
Reply:No. This software is bundled or installed along with most new operating systems and software you need it to use a lot of programs.
