The Windows Portable Device Shell Service Object is a component of the Microsoft Windows operating system that provides system support for portable devices such as MP3 players, smartphones and digital cameras. Like other components of Windows itself, it should not be terminated, or errors may occur when you use your system.
If you want a detailed security rating about your WPDShServiceObj.dll (and all other running background processes) read the following user opinions, and download the free trial version of Security Task Manager.
Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!
