<div>There's new default Calculator app in Windows 10. Is there a way to get rid of calc.exe file from system32 folder? Reason: I don't want any built-in apps, but I have a habit of running calc command via Win+R. I removed Calculator with</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>windows calc.exe download</div><div></div><div>DOWNLOAD: https://t.co/vUuFHpaUlu </div><div></div><div></div><div>The genuine calc.exe file is a software component of Microsoft Windows Operating System by Microsoft.</div><div></div><div>Included in every release of Microsoft Windows, Calc.exe is a calculator application. Older versions of Windows have a more simple interface, while Windows 7 and higher include a more robust calculator with scientific functions included. Founded in 1975, Microsoft's flagship product is the Windows operating system, which is installed on over 90% of workstations worldwide.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the calc.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Description: The original calc.exe from Microsoft is an important part of Windows, but often causes problems. Calc.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder or sometimes in a subfolder of C:\Windows.Known file sizes on Windows 10/11/7 are 26,112 bytes (50% of all occurrences), 776,192 bytes, 114,688 bytes or 966,928 bytes. </div><div></div><div>Calc.exe is a Microsoft signed file. The program is not visible.Therefore the technical security rating is 2% dangerous; but you should also compare this rating with the user reviews.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Is calc.exe a virus? No, it is not. The true calc.exe file is a safe Microsoft Windows system process, called "Windows Calculator".However, writers of malware programs, such as viruses, worms, and Trojans deliberately give their processes the same file name to escape detection. Viruses with the same file name are for example UDS:DangerousObject.Multi.Generic (detected by Kaspersky), and Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml (detected by Microsoft).</div><div></div><div>To ensure that no rogue calc.exe is running on your PC, click here to run a Free Malware Scan.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Important: Some malware disguises itself as calc.exe, particularly when not located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the calc.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Summary: Average user rating of calc.exe: based on 13 votes with 9 user comments.5 users think calc.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application.2 users think it's probably harmless.2 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous.2 users suspect danger.2 users think calc.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it.One user is not sure about it.</div><div></div><div></div><div>To help you analyze the calc.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.</div><div></div><div></div><div>You are right. It does not have a WndProc(...) function. It is just simply using a DlgProc to process the dialog events. I now this as I have written 'server/thin client' code in C/C++ to capture direct calls into windows API functions like WndProc(...). Any Windows GUI function really - BeginPaint(...) as an example. I used CALC.EXE as a test and executable runs on server while GUI calls are relayed/returned to/from the thin client. Have only tested calc.exe versions thru Vista. There is a chance the newer versions have been 'programmed' differently - meaning not using Win32 SDK. But, even MFC is just a shell to the Win32 SDK,</div><div></div><div></div><div>The following table contains possible examples of calc.exe being misused. While calc.exe is not inherently malicious, its legitimate functionality can be abused for malicious purposes.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In Windows 7, for the script to work, the account you're using must have launched calc.exe and changed its mode at least once. The script works by modifying a registry setting and will only modify it if exists already (which happens the first time you change modes). The script won't create the registry setting if it's not already there, in case calc.exe changes where it stores the setting in the future. (And, indeed, it did change.)</div><div></div><div></div><div>For example, if you often find yourself needing the scientific and programmer modes, you might want to set up a pair of system-wide hotkeys so that you can push one key from any app to open a scientific calc.exe, and another key to open a programmer calc.exe. (Alternatively, don't specify a mode and use just one hotkey, so that when you push the hotkey a menu appears and you can choose from that.)</div><div></div><div></div><div>The script may fail and do nothing if the account you're using has never launched calc.exe before. It makes sure the registry setting it wants to modify already exists before changing it, to avoid creating a mess in the registry should the setting ever move in the future.[/quote]</div><div></div><div></div><div>Now, the user can trick cmd.exe into running calc.exe instead of ping.exe by providing an argument like 127.0.0.1/../../../../../../../../../../windows/system32/calc.exe, traversing the path to the executable of their choice, which cmd.exe will run instead of the ping.exe binary.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I expected it to treat the command line as a string of inline commands and run calc.exe after running ping.exe. Yes, I know, a semicolon is used here to separate ping from calc - but the semicolon character is NOT a command separator in cmd.exe, while it is in powershell (on the other hand almost all OS Command Injection filters block it anyway, as they are written universally with multiple platforms in mind - cause obviously the semicolon IS a command separator in unix shells).</div><div></div><div></div><div>Which made me manually change the command line to ping 127.0.0.1/../calc.exe and restart debugging... while already thinking of modifying the cmd.exe fuzzer in order to throw a set payloads generated for this purpose with psychoPATH against cmd.exe... But that never happened because of what I saw after I hit F9 one more time.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Below we can see x64dbg with cmd.exe ran with cmd.exe /c "ping 127.0.0.1/../calc.exe" command line (see RDI). We are hanging right after the second SearchForExecutable call, the one originating from the bottom of the ECWork function. Just few instructions before calling ExecPgm, which is about to execute the PE pointed by R14. The full path to C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe present R14 is the result of the just-returned SearchForExecutable("ping 127.0.0.1/../calc.exe") call preceding the current RIP:</div><div></div><div></div><div>You are done. The Calculator app will be revived completely, e.g. you will be able to launch it as "calc.exe" from the Run dialog or from the taskbar search box or from Cortana. It will have the same interface language as your operating system. If you will decide to revert to the Modern Calculator app, just uninstall the Old Calculator from the Settings app\Uninstall a program, see the following screenshot:</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Hello, thank you for the excellent work. Maybe you can help me with a quick issue. In prior versions of windows, if you used executed the program using your keyboard short cut you could immediately start typing in the calculator. Now in windows 10 if you execute the calculator you then have to click on the open calculator before you can type. Huge drag as though does not sound time consuming, when you need to use the calculator often it is a hassle, especially trying to break the habit of executing the calculator and trying to immediately use it only to be throwing out blanks lol. Thanks!1</div><div></div><div></div><div>In command prompt, there is no way to bind calc1 to calc unless you will use aliases as mentioned here:</div><div></div><div> -to-set-aliases-for-the-command-prompt-in-windows/</div><div></div><div> I suggest you just to type calc1 instead.</div><div></div><div> I will look if Image File Execution Options\Debugger is suitable for calc. Thanks for the idea.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Thank you for the great work! Quick question: In old calculator, when I pressed the calculator shortcut on my keyboard, if it was open, it would only switch to it instead of opening a new one. Now every press results in a new copy of the calc.exe running. Is there a way to make it work like it used to?</div><div></div><div></div><div>After taking ownership of the calc.exe and replacing it with your file it would not run. I remember the old version of your calculator used to take over instead of being number 2. Is it possible to download that somewhere?</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Calculator in non-LTSC editions of Windows 10 is a Universal Windows Platform app. In contrast, Windows 10 LTSC (which does not include universal Windows apps) includes the traditional calculator, but which is now named win32calc.exe. Both calculators provide the features of the traditional calculator included with Windows 7 and Windows 8.x, such as unit conversions for volume, length, weight, temperature, energy, area, speed, time, power, data, pressure and angle, and the history list which the user can clear.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Both the universal Windows app and LTSC's win32calc.exe register themselves with the system as handlers of a 'calculator:' pseudo-protocol. This registration is similar to that performed by any other well-behaved application when it registers itself as a handler for a filetype (e.g. .jpg) or protocol (e.g. http:).</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hello and welcome! Today we will be writing our own shellcode from scratch. This is a particularly useful exercise for two reasons: (1) you have an exploit that doesn't need to be portable but has severe space restrictions and (2) it's good way to get a grasp on ROP (Return Oriented Programming) even though there are some significant differences ROP will also involve crafting parameters to windows API functions on the stack.</div><div></div><div> 31c5a71286</div>
