Simplewall: malformed exe name and path nvidia share.exe

Created on 22 Dec 2018  路  1Comment  路  Source: henrypp/simplewall

What is happening here? I installed the latest nVidia drivers as normal, then I blocked nvidia share.exe. I am getting notifications from simplewall about nvidia share wanting to access the internet but the exe name and/or path names are malformed, is that the right term?

The correct location for nvidia share is "C:\program files\nvidia corporation\nvidia geforce experience\NVIDIA Share.exe" and the exe is indeed digitally signed, but when i get those notifications the exe is not found and not digitally signed. They show up on the block list in red highlight meaning the "file not found"

They all try to connect to these IPs which belong to nVidia

Filter: BlockOutboundConnectionsV4
Destination IP:
8.36.80.192:443
8.36.80.215:443
8.36.80.192:443
8.36.113.113:443
8.36.80.192:443
8.36.113.113:443
8.36.80.215:443
8.36.80.192:443
