UnrealCEFSubProcess

UnrealCEFSubProcess is a process belonging to software developed by Epic Games, such as Unreal Engine or Epic Games Launcher. As part of its functions, it can monitor other applications on the system. In general, UnrealCEFSubProcess is a legitimate process and is signed with Verisign. While active on the user's system, UnrealCEFSubProcess will have no visible window. The default location of the file should be in a subfolder of C:ProgramFiles(x86), such as C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64. Although it is not essential for Windows OS, it can still cause some problems if it's functioning improperly. To fix this issue, you can uninstall the entire program containing UnrealCEFSubProcess and install it back again from an official source.

While in most cases, the process will have no malicious capabilities, malware creators may impersonate it as a way to disguise their invasive tools on the victim's system. This is especially true if the UnrealCEFSubProcess file is not located in its expected directory. Indeed, if users find the file in their C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folders, it could be a strong sign that the process is part of a malware threat. It is strongly recommended to immediately scan the system with a professional security solution and remove all detected items that you do not recognize.
