dinub1 I have 2 different wireless cards. A D-Link and an Airlink101. ANIO and AINOWCZ or similar are 2 programs which come with the wireless cards. They are parts of the wireless network protocols. Not mailicous or dangerous but buggy.

Aethelfric I installed drivers for a Wifi Router(D-Link DSL-604GT) and this appeared-dunno what exactl;y it does but it seems innocuos enough..as ever check the suspect files 'created' date and search your whole drive for everything else created at that exact time to shed light on the files provenance.
Michael Singletary From D-Link as part of the WLAN software, process that runs as a part of the wireless service.  See also: Link
Frank I have installed a D-Link DWL-G120 WLAN Adapter. When it causes an error WLAN connection is terminated. Manual restart of wzcsldr2.exe reestablishes the WLAN-connection but on my system not for a long time.

TechNTutor Stands for Windows XP "Wireless Zero Configuration ? Loader". If you don't use D-Link Setup for your wireless then you choose Windows Wireless Zero Confirugation. Which is what I'm using instead of DLink.

khalro Loads with driver installation cd D-Link Airplus DWL-G122...Uninstall-Reboot-Scan hardware changes-Update driver manualy from CD-problem gone
HOUSI It is for D-Link Wireless Adaptor, but it starts whenever Windows Starts..
amikid Its part of the Alpha Networks wlan driver installation for my pci wlan adapter from ALLNET - this causes error messages on every bootup even on my fresh XP installation. , reinstallation doesnt help, not sure if need anyway... maybe deleting is an option. There is no other version available according to ALLNET support and there is no update nor a bugfix in plan for the future.... If anyone knows a solution or found a link for a diffrent fileversion other than the buggy if your wlan adapter wont work it helps in my case to de- and reactivate my ALLNET adapter after every bootup manually under Start/networks.. if your wlan adapter wont work it helps in my case to de- and reactivate my ALLNET adapter after every bootup manually under Start/networks..

Martin Comes with D-Link wireless NIC software. Buggy shit, often crashes during boot. Sucks CPU if you have a low-powered PC. I believe it's originally intended for Win16. However, the alternative, Microsoft Wireless Zero Configurator is even worse.  See also: Link
Dave Also used with the Blitzz BW1715 PCI Wireless Adapter
Fox Installed with D-Link DWL-G650 (PCMCIA) Wlan Card
joe I bought the d link usb wireless adapter and have constant problems with it. Very frequently i get the windows error message, and have to restart the app. VERY ANNOYING
Ilja Astahovs Well, it looks like I agree with those saying that it is a part of D-Link software. I've got it almost the same time when I installed my D-Link USB Adapter.
mike my d-link stopped working after 3 months on windows vista. uninstalled d-link went to linksys and still get error message. think it is more nuisance than anything else
Brian occurred when I installed my D-Link wireless card

Grimraper I used to have same problem as amikid. Because I deleted csrss.exe from C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache b/c I though it was harmful, when I put csrss.exe back in folder, WLAN would connect with no problems at startup.
Greg Kreis It eats up HUGE amounts of Non-Page Memory Pool and will eventually cause the PC to crash when the pool is exausted. I stopped it from starting when the PC boots.
Butthead Pointless disable it or remove with msconfig, you can still use the USB wireless to accses the web, pointless resource wasting process if you ask me

Rino - Network Manager Buggy DLINK WLAN Software. Software hangs my machine on each reboot after a few minutes. Software is in 2 parts, 1 Part as a Service and 1 Part in Run Programs in Registry. Disabled the Driver under Services and the system became stable, Disabled the software from starting in the Run section of the registry, and system stayed stable. Wireless Card is still active and works fine from my experience.!
ruby_booby Runs great without...(windows) Installed drivers from Wildpackets -- much better

amlitnod System resource hog. Taken 6% in task mgr. Ended task system sped up a lot
Art Dutton In MSCONFIG you can un-select this program from loading at start-up. Doesn't affect my wireless connection to my router.
arnaud I also used to get this process using 100% of my CPU. I found 2 solutions: a) use the windows network configuration tool and not the Dlink one and disable the D-link tool startup (msconfig - uncheck the entryC:\Program Files\D-Link\Wireless G WUA-1340\AirGCFG.exe). I didn't test it for more than 20 hours but i didn't get the error. - b) or disable the windows service WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration)goto Start -- Run -- type services.msc and press OK -- Scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration (it'll be at the bottom), right-click and select Properties -- Click Stop. In this case
D-Link DWL-G122 related driver
FinalDoom Somehow, this made my box crash every time I enabled my dlink dwl-g510. Don't ask me why. Different drivers are working now.
Meatball This error seems to be congruent with another one(in my case at least): aircfg.exe entry point not found error, i'm not sure if they're related but there is a solution for that error on this site, maybe it will help.
Ringo came with my Dlink WiFi usb adaptor and causes no real problems
Jordan This file isn't needed in Windows XP, seems to cause problems in Vista. Best disable it and use the built in Windows stuff.
Alex. I can definitly agree, it is installed with D-Link Products. I Installed D=Link DWL-G510 card, since there, thiss app and AirGCFG.exe are new processes.
phil using msconfig, and remove the ANIWZCS2 launcher, works....
Luckydog If you have a D-link WUA 2340, you need this file running. If you are experiencing loss of signal, it is because you have two copies running. This happens with XP when you are logged in as administrator and have not logged out as a user - like when you use the switch user function. You need to use taskmanager to end one of the processes. If you are logged in as administrator, you can see both processes, If logged in as a (restricted) user, you can only see the copy that the user started. Just end that copy.
Spudddd Installs with D-Link WLAN drivers. NOT Dangerous, but DOES self-install when the CD plugs and plays, meaning you have no choice about where its files end up
Software Security Technician Not a security threat, however can have adverse effect on the machine. It is a driver component for D-Link wireless products, required to start a connection, but safe to kill after connection is made. It will often chew up 100% CPU if left to idle in XP.

Rudi It comes with the D-Link USB-Stick and sometimes it sucks up to 50% of my dual core CPU with Windows XP pro. It's easy to delete from the task manager but then the WLAN failes after a while. I start it again and it works for a while well. Suddenly it sucks the power again. Very annoying shit program.

Hubson D-Link DWL-G510. After some time in internet it takes 50% of CPU power !!!
