 | It check registratin code and user settings so it seems ok, but some hacks can change and than it owns about 100 MB of your memory and kills your operation system

 | My dial-up internet service was going crazy before I used "End task" to shut it down. The file creation date was only two days ago. A new registry entry HKLM\Software\...\Run was "ICQ Net C:\WINDOWS\winlogon.exe -stealth". I have never installed ICQ on this machine (win98SE, IE5.5SP2). I deleted the registry entry and the file from the c:\windows dir. No Problems.

 | This is the Windows NT logon utility that manages user logons and logoffs. The utility prompts you for the password when you log on and allows you to log off or shut down. It also keeps track of your computer's license(s) if you are using Windows XP.

| Anmeldedienst von Windows. Aber nicht nur das. Bauen sie im Ihrem Rechner eine neue interne Hardwarekomponente ein, wird die WINLOGON.EXE dieses feststellen und , wenn Windows XP schon mal aktiviert war, dieses rückgängig machen. Sie dürfen bei Microsoft anrufen, und Ihre XP-Version erneut aktivieren.

| As said by others, this process is responsible for managing user logon and logoff, both in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. It is perfectly normal and safe, AS LONG ASIT'S IN THE SYSTEM32 FOLDER! If it's running from anywhere else, it's a FAKE - some malware often names itself as a trusted program, only in another directory.

 | There is a trojan variant of Backdoor.Padador that hides unser the name winIogon.exe(that is really winiogon.exe, the 'i' is capitalized) i believe this is really a '5" rating if it goes unnoticed, it steals all kinds of cd keys and other private information.

 | I had 2 winlogon.exe open (so it says the taskmanager), the original was "winlogon.exe" the bad file is list with "WinIogon.exe" (big i not L). I found it in Windowsdirectorie

| Chek it out Captain Mnemo Pro is running under the same name winlogon.exe
| Pako |
| I have seen one instance where winlogin.exe (as opposed to winlogon.exe) keeps getting re-entered in the HKLM\...\run\ regkey. As far as I can tell, winlogon.exe is good, winlogin.exe is bad.

| It is not more dangerous then Windows it self, and on most pc you need this file

| it seems to be a backdoor hack of some sort, the windows process is all caps, the virus is lowercase.

| Dont kill this process!!! or your pc will hang.

| This is a standard for NT machines , can be found in NT/2000/XP but not in windows 98/95/ME, however from what i have experieneced is that there is a Virus CLONE of this and obviously needs to be gone, if you are using 95/98/me and there is a winlogon.exe (or similar) then kill it, you dont need it, NT/2000/XP users will have to look closely at the filename if its Winlogon.exe then its ok if its WinIogon.exe (with Capital i) kill it, or if its Winlogin.exe (notice the change from logon to login) then kill it. but do use extreme caution as you could lock yourself out,if you delete the wrong one

| Its a Windows file. Some virusses use its name. But they are cheap imitations. Viruswriters=Cant code :)

| On XP(sp1), You cannot delete C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\*.* or C:\Program Files\NetMeeting\*.* due to winlogon.exe. if some of these files be deleted, winlogon detects the deleting and restore that files. Microsoft never tells about this.
