What is BigFix.exe? Nov 30, 2004

Can you identify the application beeing behind?
For the others I cannot tell for sure, but many of them are usually running on any Windows PC.
This one is one I do not know and am not having in my PC.

Regards
Jerzy

Also, if you type each .exe in Google, you will come across a few sites which list them all and which will tell you whether they are a threat or not.
