File called IadHide3.dll

[Bertyr]

The above file is currently (and has been for some time) in my
/local settings/temp folder and is always in use so I can't delete it (in the normal way)

Anyone know what this is for offhand without me listing everything I have installed (intentionaly)

I don't run any p2p software except icq, or any other addins like that, that are normally associated with spyware etc.

Logitech mouse drivers, or maybe keyboard

hmm

I do use a logitech keyboard but havn't installed any drivers for it, mouse is MS

I just wondered if it was something to do with adverts because of its name ...

Plug and pray keyboard ? what OS are you using ?

 

[Bertyr]

WinXP Pro

It cost �20 a couple of years ago is all I can remember atm, hasn't got any fancy extra keys for launching aps.

well i've just searched my hdd and its not on there so I'm not sure m8

I have a logitech keyboard, and grokster loaded, and I don't have the file either, I also am using XP, so I'm afraid I have no idea.

Try making a system restore point, and deleting the file, see what doesn't work.

According to a google search its the something created by Logitec mouse drivers

Thanks all

In that case it shouldn't be in my temp dir and I'll get rid of it

edit
if you right click on it and choose properties
then look at version
under Company it states: Backweb

sounds dodgy too to me

Well done for your original deduction roch (or search engine traverse )

Still can't explain what it does mind as I havn't installed any logitech drivers (why do I need them for a standard keyboard anyway?... maybe its built into the winxp ones?
Or why when I log in as a different user to delete the file, it 'spawns' again when I log back in.

*shrug* sort of put my mind at rest anyway thanks, won't be reformatting just yet then
