It said that the DaemonProcess.exe was running and it wouldn\u2019t let us shut down. That is when my daughter informed me that they downloaded a program called Mobogenie the day before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Did My Computer Download Mobogenie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My kids were playing around on this computer and wanted to watch some movie footage from our new camera. The only problem was that the movie was a weird video type so they tried to download VLC player. That program is amazing and plays anything but they ended up downloading it from a bad website.<\/p>\n<p>That is how our old Windows XP computer ended up with Mobogenie and the DaemonProcess.exe process running.<\/p>\n<p>I also should mention that the computer also had Microsoft Security Essentials which stopped support for Windows XP. I totally forgot about this and didn\u2019t even realize I had an XP computer in the house.<\/p>\n<p>I tried opening the task manager (pressing CTRL ALT DEL) and ending the process but the DaemonProcess.exe kept starting again.<\/p>\n<p>So I tried something else. <\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/tips4pc.com\/computer-repair\/daemonprocess-exe-running-computer-wont-shut.htm\" target=\"_blank\">But first, what is this Mobogenie software?<\/a><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p><em>This excerpt appears with permission from Tips4PC.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is DaemonProcess.exe running on your PC and why won&#8217;t your PC shut down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":48196,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[834],"tags":[4648],"class_list":["post-48191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips4pc","tag-mobogenie"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is DaemonProcess.exe &amp;
