The wdc.exe process is also known as WatchDog. It is a PC monitoring software produced commercially and is able to record every computer activity such as websites visited, keystrokes, chat and instant messages, programs used and is also capable of taking screenshots at pre-defined times. It limits the use of the computer depending on which user logged in and the time limit he or she has set, as well as program limits. It can be a convenient and helpful tool, although this can become a launcher for blackmails or identity, for instance. This file is digitally signed from ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
