igfxtray.exe is an executable Window’s operating system file. This igfxtray.exe executable file is the System Tray Applet for the Intel Integrated Display Adapter, which is located on the motherboard, and it is installed with the Intel Integrated Graphics driver.

The igfxtray.exe executable file is concerned with facilitating the configuration changes through using a convenient system tray icon and also it is concerned about the diagnostic application for the Intel series graphics chipset which is on the motherboard. As it is obvious, this program is not a vital one for the Windows operating system, it is only installed for your easiness and it doesn’t have to run at the start up, it’s recommended to terminate it and run it when it is required so that not to eat your CPU and memory and consume your main resources. To start up this process when required you can use Run, RunOnce, RunServices, or RunServicesOnce entry in the registry.

The igfxtray.exe executable file location path is C:\Windows\system32\igfxtray.exe, if it happens to find another instance of the igfxtray.exe executable file in your computer, then this has to be a virus, spyware, malware, worm or a Trojan that has to be scanned and omitted from your system permanently preventing your system from severe harms or hackers that can steal your personal information like your passwords or credit card number.

Other than the viruses disguising in the form of the igfxtray.exe executable file, I suppose there is only one problem may occur as a result of using the igfxtray.exe, which is the crashing while attempting to shut down the operating system, don’t worry about it, it is a simple error that can be easily solved by terminating the Intel Integrated Display Adapter System Tray Applet through the control panel in your computer.

These viruses previously mentioned can use the same exact name of the Windows operating system executable files, like the igfxtray.exe executable file, or add a slight change to the file name as a sort of camouflage.

There are two main common Trojans that are used to disguise in the form of the igfxtray.exe executable file, the first drops an infected executable file holding the same name of the igfxtray.exe executable file of the Windows operating system and this infected executable file spreads widely through your system causing severe huge harm to it. The other Trojan horse worm spreads through the RPC DCOM in Windows XP.
