  • Hi,

    You don't need to worry about it, it's installed by Acer and I have as well, it's better to be cautious as sometimes infections use legitimate names, if you find anywhere else apart from current position, you need to remove it, for further explanation read this:http://www.2-remove-virus.com/what-is-fubtracking-exe/

    Thank you for the extra information. But what does that program do even? Also in 'Preload' I have many apps related to 3D camera which are not installed. It takes around 1GB on my HDD. Why are they put there if not installed?

    This is the best explanation i have found on it because i was wondering about it to... hope it helps idk if it did me or not Version:1.0 StartHTML:000000217 EndHTML:000014098 StartFragment:000012975 EndFragment:000014026 StartSelection:000012975 EndSelection:000014022 SourceURL:http://www.2-remove-virus.com/what-is-fubtracking-exe/What is FubTracking.exe?

    What does FubTracking.exe do?

    You can quite easily check whether FubTracking.exe belongs to a good program or malware. The legitimate file FubTracking.exe will be located in %SystemDrive%OEMPreloadFubTracking, and its size will be 30976 bytes, so if you cannot find FubTracking.exe there and its size differs, it is very likely that it belongs to a malicious software installed on your PC. In such a case, the FubTracking.exe removal is a must. If you do not take any action and let the malicious application stay on your computer, you might experience many problems soon. For example, it might steal your passwords and logins, it might make it impossible to use the computer due to crashes and freezes, and, finally, your privacy might be violated since malicious software tends to gather personal data about users and their activities. Of course, you do not need to do anything if FubTracking.exe belongs to software of Acer Incorporated but we highly recommend making sure that the file is good before you let it stay on your system.

    It's program very simple to analyze - just try to decompile the exe with any .net decompiler or load memory dump via WinDbg so you see this program sends encrypted information about your OS installation identified by firmware id + serial number :)

    This program looks very shady, it has anti-reverse-engineering features, it contains the string http://ws.gtm.acer.com so it does some form of tracking -as the name suggests-, source: ...

    I deleted the all AOM folder where it resided just to err on the safe side; I don't need any ACER spyware or any ACER-specific software, I just needed the hardware.
