What does autochk.exe do?
One of my application calls EnumPrinter API. It hangs on
a PC and exact hanging point is that EnumPrinter call. Namely, EnumPrinter called and it doesn't return. I checked the call stack of the thread when it hanged and found a call via autochk.exe!0xXX. Call stack looked something like : - - - - ntkrnlpa.exe!Something+0xXX .. ntdll.dll!Something+0xXX autochk.exe+0xXX ... MyApp.exe!EnumPrinter+0xXX - - - - Why should autochk.exe be there? What does it do? Could it be an virus? Thanx. -- Daewon YOON

What I don't really understand is that some part of the autochk.exe code is shown in the stack of one of myapp.exe's stack. autochk.exe is not executed at all. It looks like autochk.exe is loadlibrary'ed like an dll, when myapp is not explicitely loaded the exe. Could anybody give me an answer or guess? -- Daewon YOON
