MATLAB is the technical name, or service name, of the file matlab.exe, which is a part of the program MATLAB Family of Products, particularly MATLAB R2006a or MATLAB R2006b, and is created by The MathWorks. MATLAB allows a user to create an executable file through the graphic user-interface, view existing or created projects, and manage them. As a core component, matlab.exe is a file that needs to remain running in the background, and as a process for Windows, it definitely works with most certain versions of Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, such as Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows ME, Windows 98, and Windows 95. Therefore, this particular file process needs to continue running in the background of a system, and must not be terminated or stopped, unless it is causing some errors or problems that affect the performance and stability of the operating system.

Most non-system processes that are running can be stopped because they are not involved in running your operating system. matlab.exe. is used by MATLAB Family of Products or MATLAB , If you shut down matlab.exe, it will likely start again at a later time either after you restart your computer or after an application start. To stop matlab.exe, permanently you need to uninstall the application that runs this process which in this case is MATLAB Family of Products or MATLAB , from your system.

After uninstalling applications it is a good idea to scan you Windows registry for any left over traces of applications. Registry Reviver by ReviverSoft is a great tool for doing this.

The ReviverSoft experts have not yet reviewed matlab.exe

A process usually a part of an installed application such as MATLAB Family of Products or MATLAB , or your operating system that is responsible for running in functions of that application. Some application require that they have processes running all the time so they can do things such as check for updates or notify you when you get an instant message. Some poorly written applications have many processes that run that may not be required and take up valuable processing power within your computer.
