What is internat.exe


Internat.exe runs at startup; it loads the different input locales that are specified by the user. The locales to be loaded for the current user are taken from the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERKeyboard LayoutPreload

Internat.exe loads the "EN" icon into the system tray, allowing the user to easily switch between locales. This icon disappears when the process is stopped, but the locales can still be changed through the Control Panel. Note that the locales for the "System" are loaded from here:
HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTKeyboard LayoutPreload

These locales are used by system services that are running under the Local System account, or when no user is logged on (for example, at the logon prompt). This service doesn't exists in Windows Vista or Windows 7! In this case "internat.exe" could be a virus or trojan.

Note: The internat.exe file is located in the folder C:WindowsSystem32. In other cases, internat.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm!
