You need to determine its location

Description: msdtc.exe is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. Known file sizes on Windows XP are 6144 Byte (86% of all occurrence), 5632 Byte.
File msdtc.exe is a Windows core system file. The program is not visible. File msdtc.exe is a trustworthy file from Microsoft. Therefore the technical security rating is 6% dangerous, but also read the users reviews.

If msdtc.exe is located in a subfolder of C:\Windows then the security rating is 90% dangerous. File size is 8704 Byte. File msdtc.exe is an unknown file in Windows folder. It is not a Windows system file. The process listen or send data on open ports to LAN or Internet. msdtc.exe is a file without information about the maker of this file.
