The wlcomm.exe process is also known as the Windows Live Communications Platform or the Windows Live Messenger Contacts Server and it was created by the Microsoft Corporation. It is a product belonging to Windows Live Communications Platform. The background tasks are laid out by the Windows Live Messenger when the user enables Windows Live Contacts. The Windows Live Contacts gives the capability of the user’s Windows Live address book to be updated in real-time when other connections by the user update their respective Windows Live information, as well as the user’s own information. This process would then configure some, if not all, of his or her friends to be able to receive their updated details automatically. The program is not visible in the background and not a Windows system file. It is digitally signed, though the user can remove it using Control Panel. The application sends data using LAN or Internet connection. It is relatively safe to use and does not present any probably risk from malicious contents.
