Other users also claim that their anti-malware applications flag the configuration.exe process as a malware item that belongs to the TROJ_PATCH.QT family of Trojans. Some users also reported that the configuration.exe process has been classified by their own system security applications as a component or variant of the Worm.Win32.AutoIt.abk and WORM_YAHLOVER.FF programs, which are families of worms known to infest unprotected Windows-based computers with an unsecured Windows System Registry by constantly creating duplicates of itself and placing these copies in various locations across the infected system for transmission via email or through the unencrypted TCP/IP network ports of the computer.
