Ich habe diese *.exe auch auf dem PC, Dies jedoch erst nach der Installation von Winamp 5.51 . bei mir ist die Anwendung in folgendem Verzeichniss: C:\Program Files\Winamp Remote\bin . Ich denke nicht das diese einen trojaner oder sonstiges enthält, der virus check bestätigt das. Das dieses Programm mit dem Internet verbindung her stellt, ist für Winamp 5.51 nötig, sofern man den Dienst : WINAMP remote (BETA! ) Ausführen will. Im folgenden link kann man unter "How does it work?" sehr gut sehen, welche funktion die Software hat.

It is used by Winamp Remote. I haven't created the required user account to configure this Winamp module and therefore haven't used it. It does seem to be related to access of multi media files or applications on the internet. Because I don't know yet the degree of control it has on my system I'll need additional information before I’m willing to explore this feature. Additionally, I installed Winamp to play local MP3s, I don't like the fact that a module that nags me every time I reboot was installed without my knowledge. Perhaps I wasn't attentive but I’ll error on the side of caution
