Dear user friends, please note that the original exe file does not cause any security threat to the system.
However, there are some necessary steps that are to be followed while using this software so that one doesn’t run into the risk of losing important information.

- It does not get detected in anti-virus scans when there are risks of security threats.
- They change themselves to executable files and get overlooked by security detectors.
- Moreover, these files are often previously installed and hides in a suitable location.
One thing that needs to be kept in mind is that the user will have to check whether the parent application that is Sonic suite three is pre-installed or not. If no, then there is no reason for this .exe software file to cause a threat to any system information.

The safety threat can be checked by downloading it into a virus database and thus can be run through a number of security scans while it is compared with a dozen of other virus signature databases. Thus, you can determine whether the file is a virus threat or not or whether your system runs the risk of losing any information or not.
