AEI.exe

The AEI.exe process is a part of the Spy Sweeper SDK from company Webroot Software, Inc.

Recommendation:

The AEI.exe process is not an essential file to the computer system performance. Disabling it or enabling it is down to the user's options. 

Users Opinions

Commsys		ANY program that refuses to respond to Admin control is by definition. The fact that it was authored by an antivirus company just shows their incompetence but does not change the definition. This is a DANGEROUS and in fact (regardless of intent) MALICIOUS piece of software. The fact that the company CANNOT (or at least WILL NOT) support or fix it, is reason enough to avoid their products at all costs. 1 0 Report Abuse
Tom K		This severely slows my system down....Is there no way to get rid of this dog? 0 0 Report Abuse
skyler48193		I went to Control PAnel and removed webroot software. Fortunately I had loaded the version before this to a folder in my Prams folder and after uninstall and restarting system I ran the earlier .exe and I am back to the previous version. All traces of AEI.exe is gone (system task manager at least doesnt show it and my computer is running as it was before I loaded version 7. Webroot has got to respond to this or it's a new anti-virus program for me when this subscription ends! 0 0 Report Abuse

Bradley Marcoux		I have tried every way I know of getting this off my computer. Any program I can't control, change or remove is a VIRUS to me. 0 0 Report Abuse

Janice		I have to agree. My system was brought to a standstill after the new ver 7. I went back to the previous version. 0 0 Report Abuse
Sean		Webroot's new anti viruses instant virus protection process meant no harm to computers, but does take up a decent amount of CPU sadly. 0 0 Report Abuse
homestead3@wildblue.net		I cannot kill this process or remove it off my system no matter how many different programs I use to do this. I doubt if it has anything to do with Webroot security software, even though the path is: C:\Program Files\Webroot\Security\Current\Plugins\Antimalware\AEI.exe . This file takes a life of its own, using 100% of CPU time at various times of the day, even after I tried to uninstall the program several times. Webroot is not much help. I could not find any program uninstallers on their web site. 0 0 Report Abuse
