Users may occasionally see error messages such as:
| Process Name | VPN Client | Function Similarity | |--------------|-------------|----------------------| | ramgmtui.exe | SonicWall NetExtender | Tray UI and session mgmt | | vpnui.exe | Cisco AnyConnect | Tray UI | | FortiTray.exe | Fortinet FortiClient | Tray UI | | PulseUi.exe | Pulse Secure | Tray UI | | OpenVPNGUI.exe | OpenVPN Community | Tray UI |
The biggest security risk is not ramgmtui.exe itself, but malware pretending to be it. Remote Access Trojans (RATs) and info-stealers frequently use names similar to legitimate VPN processes.
While the file itself is legitimate, malware authors often name their viruses after common system processes to avoid detection. This technique is known as "spoofing."
