Overview

vcsystray.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges. 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). This is typically installed with the program VAIO Care published by Sony Corporation and is usually factory installed by the OEM. The file is digitally signed by Sony Corporation of America which was issued by the VeriSign certificate authority (CA).
