The genuine Jhi_service.exe file is a software component of Intel® Management Engine Components by Intel Corporation.The JHI Service ("jhi_service.exe") is called an Intel® Management Engine Component although it is not in the actual Management Engine (ME). It resides in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files\". It operates invisibly, routing requests connected with Identity Protection Technology (IPT) to a Dynamic Application Loader (called "JOM") in the ME, and routing results back to the application. Apps send a request to the JHI Service by calling special Intel® DLL's included in the ME Components. The Intel® Management Engine (ME), part of Intel® vPro Technology, is firmware in a protected processor on the motherboard. Intel® ME Components communicate between Windows and the ME as part of Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT). Most modern computers now have Intel® vPro Technology and AMT, originally meant for enterprise-owned computers so that administrators could remotely diagnose, repair, and isolate even computers that were turned off.
Jhi_service stands for Intel® JOM Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface Service
