are executable programs.
Purpose of This File:
180sa.exe is a program that most likely was installed by you at some time or
another. This comes installed bundled with other applications, and will normally
cause popups. You can remove this without any problems. You will also find a
folder named NCASE or 180Solutions. These entire folders can be deleted as well.
(As always, make sure you monitor your startup, as this program will also be
listed in your startup, and won't do any good to remove it as it will start
again when you reboot.) IF this file was on the pc, we would suggest remove it
immediately.

assistant\180sa.exe
Note on File Locations:
Remember that although many files are always in default file locations, some
files can easily be moved to different locations or change names like many
spyware,
adware, or popup programs do. If you suspect you have
spyware
or
adware, check to see if you see a
similar names stored elsewhere. It always helps to check your task list also to
see what is currently running on your computer. You can always view the task
list on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view your "task manager", and
then click the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running on your
computer.
Dll files will NOT show on your computer task list, as
dll files are
actually part of other processes. You may see similar program names running if
spyware
or
adware
is on your computer, for example, 180sa.exe may be slightly misspelled to
keep you from finding it, or
spyware
and
adware
may be named very similar to a system file. Make sure always check the location
of tasks or processes if you are concerned. 180sa.exe can also be used by
other programs or software, as there is no standard on software program names
what companies choose. Verify the spelling of 180sa.exe and make sure the
entire name matches, and verify the file location which we always list for you
on this site.
