Spybot search & destroy wants to remove this file from windows/system32 in
Vista64.
Is this a system file if so it should be protected right?How do I know if
this is a false positive or a real threat?
 
Re: tvichw64.sys

path should be windows/system32/drivers in vista 64

Hi Kue2

EnTech, Taiwan provide that driver. Have you installed anything that might
use it such as the BIOS check ActiveX from esupport.com?

Google Is Your Friend (G.I.Y.F.)

TVicHW32 Overview

TVicHW32 is a general purpose device driver that can be used
by practically any programming language. It lets you access
and control hardware directly from any Win32 application
under Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/2003/XP/XP 64-bit without
having to use the Windows DDK.

What is TVicHW32?

You've just written an application to control a custom or
system hardware device under DOS or Win16. Now comes the
task of porting your software to Win32. You know this is a
major undertaking because no single programming language
contains the constructions or functions for Win32 hardware
access, i.e. port I/O operations, physical memory accessing,
hardware interrupt handling or DMA functions. Up to now,
your only choice was to write your own device driver. You
also know this means:

> you must have the Microsoft Driver Development Kit (DDK )
installed on your PC

> you must examine the driver structures—which are quite
different for Windows 95/98/ME (VxD) and for Windows NT/2000
(kernel-mode driver)

> if you don't know C then you'll have to learn this
programming language and very likely the assembler instructions

> you'll need to learn driver debugging methods and
probably have to purchase a high-cost debugging tool

> be prepared to lose data from your hard drive because
even small driver bugs produce the Blue Screen of Death.

Fortunately, you now have a much simpler choice. TVicHW32 is
a general purpose device driver that can be used by
practically any programming language. It lets you access and
control hardware directly from any Win32 application under
Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/2003/XP/XP 64-bit without having to
use the Windows DDK.
