    Hi there, new here. I came to these forums after searching around to try and fix some fairly bad stuff goin on with my pc. Currently working my way through the "READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support" thread. Up to the "startup items' part and got some questions about some of the things i see in CCleaner startup. (the thread to ask if ya dont know so here goes!).

    Heres what I'm seeing:
    SUPERAntiSpyware.exe (i recently installed this so it seems fine)

    spoolvs.exe (this one worries me a bit, i did a little research and it says that its malware and the actual legit name should be spoolsv.exe, not spoolvs.exe)

    gkaiwbcd.dll (cant even find anythign about this one when searching google)

    AsusProb.exe (motherboard, ok)

    CTHELPER.EXE (soundblaster, ok)

    point32.exe (mouse, ok)

    NeroCheck.exe (seems to be ok from what I've read)

    NvCpl.dll,NvStartup (nvidia drivers?)

    NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit

    printer.exe

    rundll32.exe ptipbmf.dll,SetWriteCacheMode

    qttask .exe".-atboottime (quicktime startup i think)

    ccApp.exe (norton antivirus thing)

    ejerqvwl.dll (like the odd named one earlier, this one does not come up with any results when i look for it in google)

    nwiz.exe/install (another nividia thing)

    type32.exe (keyboard)

    Adobe Gamma Loader.exe (adobe stuff)



    Ok there ya have it. Hope someone can help,


    Thanks

    HI

    Hope some of this helps you understand what the components are....


    SUPERAntiSpyware.exe (i recently installed this so it seems fine) << Yes this is fine.

    spoolvs.exe (this one worries me a bit, i did a little research and it says that its malware and the actual legit name should be spoolsv.exe, not spoolvs.exe) <<< NOT ok, this as you already found out could be malware, especially if its location is not in C:\Windows\System32

    gkaiwbcd.dll (cant even find anythign about this one when searching google) <<<< NOT ok and likely malware file as they randomly generate file names to confuse antivirus software

    AsusProb.exe (motherboard, ok) << Yes this is fine.

    CTHELPER.EXE (soundblaster, ok) << Yes this is fine.

    point32.exe (mouse, ok) << Yes this is fine.

    NeroCheck.exe (seems to be ok from what I've read) << Yes this is fine and part of Nero you burning software

    NvCpl.dll,NvStartup (nvidia drivers?) << Yes this is fine and exactly right its your Graphics Driver files

    NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit << Yes this is fine and is also part of the Nvidia drivers

    printer.exe <<< Possible not OK as its also linked with Malware in the Smitfraud family

    rundll32.exe ptipbmf.dll,SetWriteCacheMode <<< Linked to the RAID controller from Promise, likely needed in your setup.

    qttask .exe".-atboottime (quicktime startup i think) << Yes this is fine, again your correct its Apple Quicktime updater.

    ccApp.exe (norton antivirus thing) << Yes this is fine.

    ejerqvwl.dll (like the odd named one earlier, this one does not come up with any results when i look for it in google) <<<< NOT ok and likely malware file.

    nwiz.exe/install (another nividia thing) << Yes this is fine and again Nvidia driver helper files

    type32.exe (keyboard) << Yes this is fine.

    Adobe Gamma Loader.exe (adobe stuff) << Yes this is fine, part of Adobe Photoshop generally.
