Microsoft - MSASCuiL.exe |
Microsoft Antivirus Security Center User Interface Logo. Its function is (or was) to display the icon for the Windows Defender antivirus program in the Windows taskbar, also known as the Windows Defender Center. (As early as May 2017, users alleged it has been merged into SecurityHealthService.) Residing in "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender", it runs at startup and can be disabled through Task Manager. Care must be taken not to confuse it with "msascui.exe", which is Windows Defender itself.
