Related to the Dell OEM version

in startup, the System32 Folder will appear on every startup. A patch is
available - filename R75304.EXE - that fixes the issue. You can find that
file at support.dell.com by typing that name in the 'Search' box available
there. It addresses the root of the problem in Creative's software and
corrects it. Unfortunately there is no direct link to the file, but it's
easily available using the search function |

Ramp TSRs are installed as part of IP Insight software (can't remember the
software maker). You can decline to install IP Insight during Winpoet setup,
or go into Add/Remove programs uninstall IP Insight by hand if it's already
installed. It really doesn't do a darn thing for you. It was intended to help
DSL techs monitor QoS, but the backend part was never implemented (at least
as of earlier this year). This will not affect the user's ability or
inability to access their DSL service." |

all the monitoring activities it does. Removing all the checks in all the
boxes (both tabs) still calls ARUpld32.exe to start when you start the dial
up. You can block it from sending info if you have Zone Alarm installed.
Renaming the extension of ARUCfg32.exe to ARUCfg32.exe1 works. The
ARUpld32.exe is not loaded when launching the dial up client. Written by IP

believe its purpose to be to warn the end-user that he must reboot his PC
before using Norton AntiVirus in those cases when a reboot did not happen
with the result that Norton AntiVirus did not fully complete its installation
or software updating. Recommendation : Start Norton AntiVirus from
"Start Programs Norton AntiVirus". If Norton AntiVirus comes up
without problems, then fix this entry from the Msconfig Startup tab - it was
left behind by mistake and is no longer needed now that Norton AntiVirus is
fully installed and opens without error messages" |

feedback on how computer users use the Message Advisor. These messages appear
occasionally and instruct and advise users on their computer and its use.
They generally attempt to get you (these messages) to connect to Compaq's
website. They may be safely disabled via (1) MSCONFIG or (2) Start ->
Programs -> Compaq Advisor -> Advisor Settings under the

CTHELPER is a background task

sound drivers and utilities. Given its purpose CTHELPER would normally be
classified as a "leave alone" background task. It also allows
Creative speaker setup to be synchronized with Windows Control Panel speaker
setting. Without it running that check box in Creative speaker setting is not

are a must if you are using your wireless connection, if only so you know
when the signal is fading or dropping. The problem is that, in some PCs,
ZCFGSVC can be incredibly badly behaved : taking up to 100% of CPU time and
therefore resulting in an extremely slow PC, preventing the installation of
software or Windows updates, or causing "Not Responding" or
"End this Program" shutdown problems. If you experience this, try
first the very latest drivers from Intel or your laptop manufacturer. If that
still does not solve the problem and you have WinXP/2003, try setting the
"Wireless Zero Configuration" service to disabled |

database. The individual PGP modules normally access the preferences through
PGPservice, but they are capable of a "fall-back" mode where they
can handle such access on their own. Thus, if you are not running PGPnet, you
may not immediately notice much of a difference if you disable PGPservice. If
you are running PGPnet, you will notice a big difference |

These descriptions I've come

virus that copies itself as PTSNOOP.EXE -see here for more info(3) Apparently
the people who put it out claim it's a driver for a Voice modems (don't know
who they are though - Ed) Note: If using AOL and you disable this you may
lose your connection or lock up (4) Can also be an older Logitech scanner
program. Remove from the Win.ini tab under Load='path'PTSNOOP and the
System.ini tab under drivers='path'ptrtkr.drb. Can cause parallel port
conflicts big time dragging system resources way down when a conflict exists
(5) Allows audio monitoring of modem phone dialling tones and can be useful
if you have connection problems (6) Karen Kenworthy's Snooper - "logs

is detected as a "potentially unwanted program". It purports to be
an system repair/maintenance application, but requires paid registration
before any issues found can be fixed. Many of the "invalid" items
found appear suspect. This has been reported to be distributed in wild via
trojan Vundo. Other incarnations of this software exist with the same model
and similar web presences (for example WinFixer). For more information see

CTHELPER.EXE |
CTHELPER is a background task
that is a plug-in manager for Creative drivers. The theory is that 3rd party
manufacturers can use the CTHELPER plug-in interface to produce drivers,
add-on features, and fixes that will integrate with a tighter fit with Creative's
sound drivers and utilities. Given its purpose CTHELPER would normally be
classified as a "leave alone" background task. It also allows
Creative speaker setup to be synchronized with Windows Control Panel speaker
setting. Without it running that check box in Creative speaker setting is not
functional (settings are not in sync). Unfortunately there are often problems
with CTHELPER, most notably that it can use 100% of CPU time so it's best
left disabled unless you need it |

One of the first
of a new breed of malware. When run it immediately loads MSHTA.EXE from the
Windows folder, placing it on "hot standby", ready to accept HTA
scripting within a web page and then EXECUTE what is embedded IN the page as
a program! In other words, it's possible for a "rogue" website to
actually embed trojans, worms and/or viruses directly into a web page.
NSClean's HTA Stop offers an easy way to toggle this capabiltity, or rather
vulnerability, on and off. I suggest you leave it disabled! |

Part of the software to support
a Dexxa USB graphics tablet. From a visitor - "This gets started anyway
when you plug in the USB connector for the graphics tablet, if it's not
already running. It then starts an application which manages the tablet messages.
Since I leave the tablet unplugged unless I need to use it, I don't need this
running at startup. I suspect that this program monitors a number of windows
messages, so that when it's loaded, my regular mouse slows down - it acts
like it 'sticks' entering and leaving windows. Certainly my performance
returned to what I expected when I removed this item using MSCONFIG" |

Zcfgsvc |
ZCfgSvc.exe |
Zero Config MFC Application,
part of Intel's ProSET utilities and installed by the drivers for many of
Intel wireless network cards - essential to the proper functioning of many of
the Intel ProSET utilities (but not all) and these System Tray ProSET utilities
are a must if you are using your wireless connection, if only so you know
when the signal is fading or dropping. The problem is that, in some PCs,
ZCFGSVC can be incredibly badly behaved : taking up to 100% of CPU time and
therefore resulting in an extremely slow PC, preventing the installation of
software or Windows updates, or causing "Not Responding" or
"End this Program" shutdown problems. If you experience this, try
first the very latest drivers from Intel or your laptop manufacturer. If that
still does not solve the problem and you have WinXP/2003, try setting the
"Wireless Zero Configuration" service to disabled |
