Part Of: Alps Touchpad Drivers

Description:
apoint.exe is a component of the drivers for your Alps Touchpad.
This driver is present in some laptops. On Windows NT4/2000/XP both this task and APNTEX.exe are required for the TouchPad to work properly.

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!

Recommendation for apoint.exe:
Not a critical component, but see the information above before disabling it.

Essential if you use the touchpad, which you may do some day if your mouse malfunctions, or you forgot to take it with you. We suggest you leave it alone.
