    Hi

    The last few times I started my computer, the system comes with the warning:

    "Windows requires a digitally signed driver
    Driver: Broadcom NetDetect Driver
    Service: BASFND
    Publisher: Broadcom Corporation
    Location: C:\Program Files\Bra...\BASFND.sys"

    Windows suggests to uninstall the program or device that uses this driver and check the publishers support site to get a digitally signed driver.

    The problem is that I have no idea of which program or hardware is using this driver. All the drivers I have installed in my computer are from the computer manufacturer.
    I have also been at Broadcoms homepage and there is plenty of things to download there. But I dont want to ruin anything.

    Suggestions on what to do?

    System: Windows Vista 64

    Broadcom is your onboard ethernet, I don't see why it would suddenly complain unless there was an update.:confused You can disable driver signing but it only cures the symptom and not the cause.

    Thanks augiedoggie, I've just checked if the ethernet was working, and it is. So it sounds like a burocratic problem to me.
