Hello,

I built my PC sometime last year and an application called 'Killer Network Manager' came pre-installed with one of the components. Thinking nothing of it, I just ignored it and i've left it running on my PC since. Recently, my anti-virus has been triggering some alerts for it. Take a look at the 3 I recieved this morning:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I also recieved an alert yesterday similar to this:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Is this just a false positive, or do you think I should investigate further? I don't use the application and i'm not sure of it's purpose. Perhaps I should just uninstall it?

I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.

If the program's full name is "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Network Manager", then there's nothing to be worried about.

More info about this program can be found here:
