What is "nwiz"?

[yambabe]

Just reading BWFC's thread re a potential virus, and thought I'd do the msconfig thing and have a look as my pc often runs very slow too, even when I have no apps open.

I spotted this:

"nwiz.exe/keepquiet/keeploaded/nodetect"

which looks well dodgy, is it?

Also spotted "ALCMNTR.EXE" and a couple of rundll.32 things.

Do I panic now?

nwiz.exe is part of nvidia's software,

googled the other one, apparently its part of the realtec sound drivers.

Part of nVidia as said.

You can safely turn it off from starting up.

Also switch off nview and nvpanel (or it's caled something like that )

I use nview while playing games so I can keep programs such as msn etc ON TOP of the game if I need to open it, So I dont have do minimize the game

But as said, Nwiz is part of nvidia software
