Overview

networkclient.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges. It is an auto-starting process that used the Windows Task Scheduler service to load when the user logs into Windows (sometimes this is required to bypass the UAC protection). The assembly utilizes the .NET run-time framework (which is required to be installed on the PC). The file is digitally signed by Sony Corporation which was issued by the VeriSign certificate authority (CA).
