But it may also be a malware camouflaged as apdproxy.exe. I had CyberDefender on my computer (which turned out to be a major problem) and the apdproxy.exe was using all my computer usage, when I removed CyberDefender I haven't had any more problems with it. SpyBot S & D said that CyberDefender is Spyware, but I didn't believe them because I thought it was a great program and I was currently using it. If you have CyberDefender, try removing it first and see it the problem clears up. Gauke Zijlstra Sometimes my PC is running crazy while I'm e.g. just typing text.

It automatically pops up when you connect any device that has photos or movies. It grabs the photos, fixes red-eye, files them according to your preference, and then deletes them from the device. It works great and is super convenient, especially for the non-techno-wizard.
