What is googlepinyindaemon.exe?

Google Pinyin IME is an input method developed by Google China Labs.

Overview

googlepinyindaemon.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges typically within the context of its parent svchost.exe (Host Process for Windows Services by Microsoft Corporation). It is an auto-starting process that used the Windows Task Scheduler service to load when the user logs into Windows (sometimes this is required to bypass the UAC protection). The assembly utilizes the .NET run-time framework (which is required to be installed on the PC). The file is digitally signed by Google Inc which was issued by the VeriSign certificate authority (CA).
