Description:

The usrprmpt.exe process is defined as the Norton or Symantec Security Center Helper. Being that, the usrprmpt.exe process alerts the user for a certain action when it has discovered a suspicious application. This process is highly essential since alerting the user with the found suspicious files is one of the core capabilities of Norton/ Symantec Anti Virus. Without the usrprmpt.exe process, erroneous and ineffective function of the Norton/ Symantec Anti Virus will surely be encountered.

The process usrprmpt.exe supports detection of all malware that the Norton/ Symantec Anti Virus can recognize. Also detected are spyware, viruses, adware, Trojans, and worms. The usrprmpt.exe process is also responsible for presenting possible solutions when any malware is found. Including ignoring the malware, putting the erroneous application into quarantine, and deleting the suspicious files.

Just like many other to-be-installed applications, the usrprmpt.exe process is included with a principal application, in this case, the Norton/ Symantec Anti Virus. Some users just get a downloaded copy of this file from the Internet in case it was accidentally deleted from the system. Depending on the Norton/ Symantec Anti Virus, the usrprmpt.exe process may run automatically or may depend on the users signal. When the Norton/ Symantec Anti Virus is set to scan automatically, the usrprmpt.exe process needs to run with the Norton/ Symantec Security Center. Automatic scanning usually happens when an external storage device is connected to the users computer or when the user is opening a certain application. Meanwhile, the on-demand scanning waits for the users call of the application. The usrprmpt.exe process also waits for the users command before running.

Also, the usrprmpt.exe file works with other Norton/ Symantec Anti Virus features like blocking spyware, stopping viruses, removing rootkits, detecting threats without signature, authenticating websites, encrypting password, connecting system to a safe public, removing Internet clutter, defragmenting hard drive, restoring damaged files, stopping spam emails, and providing parental controls.
