All comments about IoctlSvc.exe: Related to USB flash device driver (Corsair in my case)   It is used by Corsair Flash Voyager Utility  See also: Link   Electriceyes It stands for Input Output Control Service. It is a driver used for flash devices such as a USB drive.   Country Boy The loctlSvc.exe processes are associated with auto detection of Flash drives (to start and stop the tray utility). They have no other function associated with data transfer.   Process appeared after installing Corsair pen drive software.   Jerry Whitney installed with "backup 4 all" backup utility software   shiva Used by flash drives, USB soundcards and Nero InCD.   Bobsyourunclemate Had this file appear after installing Nero 7 Ultra Edition, Maybe used for the backitup part of nero.   Viran This process seems to run TSR following a Kingston USB Thumbdrive, even after reboot   Packrat Was installed by driver software that comes with a USB to RS-232 converter   Jack Oudadabox PLFlash DeviceIoControl Service   it is also showing up on my computer in nero backitup4 which i was unhappy with the program but has taken forever to get rid of all the remnant's of it   majictouch Installs with Nero 8 as part of Nero BackItUp 3 Essentials   Jas Appeared after hooking up removable drive and external DVD player.

Completely unnecessary in WinXP.  See also: Link   Sam Wastle I just installed Nero Backit up 4, & plflash just started showing up recently also.   Nick Installed with Nero8   was when starts running pc freeze and have to turn off   MK For your USB flash driver   mmkay its useless in winxp Nero did it again, putting an exe that will eventually cause problems. It will eventually try to become the default usb device driver for all usb related processes in win7 home basic, causing system slowdowns nd freezes in certain apps.
