All comments about carpserv.exe:
Carpserve.exe is related to Zoltrix Modems.
this is for laptops and appears harmless
Gavin Lidster Its not worth having on a PC at all
Saeid Comes preinstalled with many laptops. It's not something to worry about, but since most people don't use modems anymore, your best bet would be to at least remove it from your startup through msconfig.

Josue Nava This is a file that can use the modem, if you disable: you not hear your modem anymore
Jack Also used in some cheap Conexant based internal PCI modems (e.g. Zonet, etc.) to reduce modem cost by eliminating modem speaker and enabling the PC's sound card to play dial-up sounds.instead. Not essential if you don't need to listen to dialing and handshake tones.

Seltsamerweise läuft mein Modem (Trust 56K V92 USB) auch ohne diese Datei - ich denke man kann Sie ruhig in Quarantäne stellen, mit einem 100%igen Löschen bin ich da noch vorsichtig. Auf jeden Fall verurssacht carpserv.exe einen Ausfall bei meiner Soundkarte (wenn ich online war).
