PC Matic Analysis

Purpose: Setup.exe - It is highly unusual for a setup program to be running in background. This often happens when the setup program becomes hung while it is trying to install. The vendor, product, and filename may provide more information about what application is not responding. Try rebooting to see if the setup program clears. If the program is still running after a reboot, scan for viruses.

setup.exe uses excessive system and memory resources with no corresponding benefit. Applications such as these should be disabled to improve overall system performance.
