Syswin.exe

Despite having Win in its name, SysWin.exe is not a native Windows system file. As such, there is a high probability that it might be connected to a threat that has managed to invade the computer. After all, many malware creations are designed to hide their invasive and abnormal process as seemingly legitimate ones. If users notice the presence of the SysWin.exe file on their systems, they should carefully examine the file for signs of threatening activity. It also is strongly recommended to perform a thorough threat scan with a reputable security solution.

Typically, SysWin.exe has been found to be located in a subfolder of C:\ such as C:\boots. The file also may be set to autorun at every boot of the system. If SysWin.exe is being used as a front for a Trojan threat, the consequences for the victim could be severe. Trojans are versatile and damaging malware threats that can perform a wide range of invasive actions on the breached machine. The attackers could use the threat to deliver additional payloads to the system, establish data-harvesting or keylogging routines to capture sensitive information and account credentials from the victim or hijack the available hardware resources to mine for a chosen cryptocurrency.
