rate1 Nero Burning Rom. How do you remove this from startup?   Zee
rate1 I am the original developer of this software. It runs integrity checks on the filter drivers for the cdrom.sys driver stack and fix some issues such as missing filter driver binaries which would cause cdrom device to malfunction otherwise. The original software has no network use at all. If nerocheck.exe access your network, it sounds like some hacker has reused a 'trusted exe name' for malicious purpose.  See also: Link   David Burg
rate1 if you can, remove it, it slows down the reboot. but do this only if nero works   Daco
rate1 come with the nero cd burning is not an important file, Nero uses to control other programs to access the cds and to mange the file nerocd2k.sys. Should not be remove it from the computer if you are using nero to write cd's But You can disable it by using the run command mysconfig.   RAYTHEMASTER

rate3 If in the AheadNero or Nero folders it's fine, but not usually needed; if in the System or System32 folders, it's a trojan horse and you've been infected.  
rate5 Advanced System Care3 lists it as being installed by Trojan Proxy -X (and was also able to remove it). It prevents normal shutdown, and disables system restore, task manager, Windows updates and Windows defender. Its removal allows all these to work again properly   Paul H

rate4 I do have the Nero burning software, but this service caused my computer to reboot about 70% of the time when trying to load the XP desktop. If it got to the desktop, my system was stable. It took my over an hour to go through all my startup services to see which one was causing the problem. After disabling this one, no more reboots.   Bryan

rate3 nerocheck.exe logs keyboard input and prevents especial characters from being typed (like ā or ä), so unless you only type in english this process is quite annoying as you have to kill the process after every restart. removing the process from startup is not easy at all. @Dragon: that doesn't work with this process, dear, you can disable it but it will appear again.   lenni
rate0 I am unchecking nerocheck.exe because i do not use my laptop's cd/dvd player. There is no reason for it to be running.   Robert Thompson
rate1 Nero Check, you can remove it from BOOT   Mateus
rate3 An easy way to turn off/on this stuff is through msconfig ("Initialize" tab).  See also: Link   User oct26 2012
