| Allows for active third party driver and effect additions to the creative labs soundblaster series sound cards. You may disable this feature, but you will lose the 24 bit sound features of the soundblaster, as well as EAX sound in games. Magus | |

| Creative Technologies is an ad firm. "Creative Labs" are the good ol' sound card guys. In windows explorer, right click on the title bar, more, company. then wipe the f'ers out! Mad Duck - CNA, MCSE, Sec+ | |
| Creative Labs software. Came preinstalled on my Dell Jim C. | |
| Seems safe, but my firewall picked it up as an outbound keylogger. Denying access resulted in a lockup when trying to install drivers from CD; downloaded drivers did not have this issue. Dreamstalker | |
| I quarantined this and my sound drivers are still working fine. I don't see why my sound blaster would need a keylogger. I think that Creative Technologies is not the same as Creative Labs. Ben | |
| Yeah, it comes with creative sound card [I'm sure] Rarehunter | |

| Mad Duck's comment that Creative Technologies is an ad firm is incorrect. To confirm go to www.creative.com and click support, knowledge base, and then search for ctagent, and you'll see they list it as one of their files, AND show you that their full corporate name is Creative Technology Ltd.

| In North America, Creative Technologies Is Creative Labs Avatar | |
| File is installed with soundblaster (audigy zs) drivers Rusty | |
| Look at Creative's web page and you will see it say Creative Technologies Ltd. So it seems to be the same company as the sound card manufacturer. Ben | |
