| The file is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\ and belongs to Windows Media Player. It is used to share Windows Media Player libraries.
Get more detailed information about wmpnscfg.exe and all other running background processes with Security Task Manager.
Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection!

| Used by Windows Media Player. If you share media with other computers, leave it on, otherwise, you can turn it off.

| It seems to be another process for Windows Media Player Network Sharing service, for linking the PC with the XBox 360

| Safe if used on a secure network. Shouldn't be used on public networks.

| Well why the hell would I want to trapse all over the internet with my sharing tail hanging out all over the place if I was not gonna be sharing with everybody on purpose. And as usual Uncle billy and bros has set it to be on by default. Yay, nah not yay, HEY Mutton heads. Microsoft thinks we are all such dopes it is just best to start all the services up and let us shut them down as we grow and mature as PC Users
