The file server.exe is linked to several processes and software, but its most common association is with Novell servers. The file is essential in enabling the server to function correctly. Terminating the file could cause issues with the server and its clients. Other than being generally linked to Novell servers, there have been numerous reports of a server.exe clone that infects computer systems, mostly in the form of Trojans and malware. For the most part, users who discovered the clone file were able to detect that something was wrong with the system because several server.exe processes were running in Task Manager. The legitimate file however, has never been detected as a virus, Trojan, spy software, or malicious software. The default location of the file is the Program Files folder. Users deem the file suspicious if it is saved in the Windows/System 32 directory; which could mean that the file saved is a clone.
