rate3 It's a Creative file yes, but you should be careful about not installing ANY Creative software. It can cause problems. For example, the default USB audio driver does NOT enumerate the SB Extigy properly, at least for digital audio. Can't say about analog.  
rate0 It assists Windows manage the CD-Rom on Windows 9x and Me systems, however it has no use on faster CD  
rate1 its for my creative zen sleek mp3 player   childofbodom
rate1 this auto detect is not dangerous but certain programs like winamp or bsplayer will not play cd's properly (audio ones) without it enabled, doesnt require startup but do not remove   lordgreywolf
rate5 This file has been detected as a very high threat by mcafee. I had a lot of problems then. i removed the whole program. Then everything started to go normal again.   Teraku
rate1 Everytime I've reinstalled Windows and then Install the Creative Drivers and Software Windows has not able to autostart CD/DVDs and other strange stuff to my CD/DVD drives disable it from running and go to the MS site link below and to sort out Windows CD/DVD drive problems in the registry.  See also: Link   C W
rate1 Creative Tool  See also: Link   Sim0n
rate1 not necessary, but not harmful. and for the dude with enumeration issues with the extigy, enumeration is a combination of the driver files AND the hardware microchips talking to each other, so you may have a bad card.   dingo
rate0 cryptographic services  
rate1 CD-ROM service   stretch
rate1 it used for the zen media players   spepper
rate3 Uses 1,352k on Win XP Home startup. Seems tied to my Creative Zen Vision W mp3 player. Seems ok to shut it off after computer is started.   Jonathan Melusky
rate1 for creative players  
rate4 I had many problems with mine cursor, when I unplugged mine sound blaster, and this process starting with system, when i deleted all from Creative all back to normal.  
rate1 if its creative labs it is not dangerous and the ppl that have problems with their programs should delete the problem program and use something else ....duhhhhhh!!!
