What is VSN service

[TheDarkSide10]

Hi asked this in another forum but this one seems more active. IN my services I have this service and its not listed on Black Vipers website , is it safe to disable it? any one else have it? Is it a virus?

googling produces nothing

Is it actually a service listed in services.msc or is it just a process running?

You need to right click it, choose properties. There you will see the folder path it resides in under "Path to executable". Knowing the exact program folder it points to will let you know which program it comes from.

Is your PC a SONY Vaio? (Not fair, I know it is!)

If so it's this:

Our database contains 21 different files for filename vsnservice.exe but just single file is in compliance with selected filter. This file belongs to product VSNService.exe and was developed by company Sony Corporation.
Product: VSNService.exe

from
vsnservice.exe - What is the vsnservice.exe from Sony Corporation? (id:34900)

Hint: if the service is listed as VSNSERVICE - searching for VSN is unlikely to get the right result
