Process name: Netware Distributed Printing Client
Product: Netware
Company: Novell
File: dpmw32.exe
Security Rating: 1
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 Security Task Manager.
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!
