    I have two question, and i'll start with the one that's bothering the most:

    1. I have noticed a program which starts up (HKLM). The strange thing is that it has no name or path??? I can't see it in taskmanager, but with programs like CS firemonitor and Startup Control Panel, it's visible. The icon is one of those mini windows (the white and blue one for .exe files) with a little yellow wheel inside.

    Have any other asus users noticed this?

    2. The program TosBtMng1.exe (i think it's for bluetooth), starts up on my V6V. Is this aplication needed??

    (By the way, i have Microsoft Anti Spyware, AdAware and spywareblaste installed, and have upd and scanned them)
