Yellow Warning Signs on Non-Plug and Play Drivers

Dear Major Geeks,

I have noticed two yellow warning signs in Device Manager under Non-Plug and Play Drivers. One is next to LogMeIn Kernel Information Provider and the other one is next Scutum50 NDIS Protocol Driver. I know I uninstalled LogMeIn a while ago but I am not sure what the other one belonged to. I was told that they are not malware but left overs from previously uninstalled programs. Could you help me get rid of them from my system.

My motherboard info log is attached and I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 Laptop with Windows XP Media Center Edition, service pack 3.

Thanks.

Hi Iain,

First, I thank you for the response. I did download and install the R149798 driver but the yellow sign is still there. Regarding the LogMeIn driver, I just uninstalled it as you said.

Thanks.

Perhaps, you could try uninstalling these listings from the Device Manager (select, right-click, uninstall)?

By the looks of it, they aren't currently in use.

 

I can certainly uninstall the Scutum50 NDIS Protocol Driver but I wasn't sure what program this driver belonged to. I know I uninstalled LogMeIn a while ago but I don't recognize Scutum50.

Do you have any idea about what program Scutum50 driver belongs to?

Thanks.

 

It could be associated to .... as i thought .... your ethernet driver, but it was pointed out by ReviverSoft it may well be a left over from an old printer that you had installed, then uninstalled but it left some residual left overs.
I would suggest creating a new restore point ...

To set up a restore point, follow these steps:
1.Close any programs that are open.

2.Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore. The System Restore Wizard opens.

3.Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.

4.In Restore point description box, type a description for the restore point. Use a description that is easy to understand. If you are creating a restore point before you install specific software or hardware, you could use that information in the description.

Note The date and time are automatically added to your restore point. Therefore, you do not have to use them in your description.

5.Do one of the following:◦To finish creating this restore point, click the Create button. The System Restore Wizard notifies you when the restore point is created.
◦To stop creating a restore point and to return to the Welcome to System Restore page, click the Back button.
◦To stop creating a restore point and to exit the System Restore Wizard, click the Cancel button.

6.When you are finished, click the Close button.
Congratulations! You have successfully created a restore point, and you are finished.

Then delete the reference from your device manager, if your computer is working as it normally does , all is fine you need not take any more action, but if things aren't running as they should be ,simply roll your machine back to the new restore point.

 

Thanks to both of you.I just uninstalled it and no need to restore.

Best Regards.
