Information about dpmw32.exe file
File: dpmw32.exe
Name: Netware Distributed Printing Client
Product: Netware
Manufacturer: Novell
Risk factor (Virus/Trojan/Spyware): 
dpmw32.exe is a part of the Netware Distributed Printing Client
Novell: This program runs in the background if you are running the Novell Client
to connect to a NetWare network and you have installed the Novell
Distributed Print Services (NDPS) part of the client. We have found
that in many non-NDPS NetWare networks this process will at times
prevent other programs from working, e.g. GroupWise, PageMaker, it will
at other times make the PC hang, or it will cause illegal operations.
Recommendation :
If you are not running Novell Distributed Print Services (most NetWare
installations do not), disable this process.
Get more detailed information about dpmw32.exe and all other running background processes with Anti-Spy.Info.
Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk.
If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection!
Check it out!

| Installs as part of the Novell client for Windows - NDPS stands for Novell Distributed Print Services and it allows b-directional comms between the workstation and network printers.

| This is Novell NDPS, issue arises with XP SP2 firewall and security some Workstations throw up a error, unblocking fixes the issue.

| This is part of Novells NDPS Print Services. If you use NDPS you need it - if you don't - you don't

| Innocuous. It does not do anything of any real value, unless you need it. If you are using the NDPS, you need it, and you should leave it alone. If not, it's small, so leave it alone anyway.
