How to disable Mobsync.exe on window vista?

i tried it all i think but a lot thats online right now only seems to work on XP not vista

well this is what i tried so far you tell me what to do know! here my list of failures lol...

i went to C:\Windows\system32 and took ownership of mobsync.exe file by right clicking and going under properties and clicking security tab and clicling owner tab and changing the owner to me

then trying to change the name of mobsync.exe so it would not run but no luck

then i tried to

use command prompt to do it by

running this code to take ownership

takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\mobsync.exe

then this to give me full control

cacls C:\Windows\System32\mobsync.exe /G tommy:F

but no luck i just get a error message

then i read someone did in regedit but i tried but they were wrong or had a xp because it didnt match vista regedit at all here it was

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\… df3-10306abf19b2}
if you have a vista you will know there is no currentversion in vista regedit!!

well hope someone can help because this is overheating my laptop and i need it off or out thanks in advance

Mad @ Moderators
any thread within this section whose subject line ends with a question mark should be moved to Ask 4 Help (if AHK related) or General Chat. Thx. Confused

Gonna be moved but i thought i'd get in here anyway.

Code:

#Persistent

SetTimer, Kill_Mobsync, 1000
Return

Kill_Mobsync:
Process, Exist, Mobsync.exe ;Change Mobsync.exe to the actual process name you see in task manager
If ErrorLevel
{
          Process, Close, %ErrorLevel%
}
Return

...& the error msg was???

I don't have Vista, but try to do these Steps...
  • Open the file's Security Properties
      (almost where you changed owner, but not on the owner tab {on XP it's the 1st tab "Permissions" {not Auditing or Owner})
  • On the Permissions Tab (or whatever it's called on Vista), click Add...
  • Type Everyone, press Enter
  • Next to Traverse Folder / Execute File, click in the Deny Column
  • Click OK until all dialogs close
      you may get a Yes/No warning about setting Deny permissions, read it & approve it, if you feel confident you can undo it (if you are admin you can always take ownership & if you are owner you can always edit permissions)
...that should Deny executing that file to Everyone...but isn't there any other way to make it stop running?...maybe you could go into Add/Remove Windows Components & remove mobsync?...when does it come up?...why do you need to disable it?...oh just read the "overheating laptop"...OK, but still, when does this come up automatically?...there's no configure/disable option?...is it in Task Scheduler?

Also, a single Google Search got me this...
...obviously, I can't test those, but they both look promising!
