    I have a CF-30C3P26BM and every time I shut the computer down this error comes up, "SUM.EXE". I am not sure what this could possibly be and at the present time I don't think that it is affecting my normal operation of the PC. Just wondering what it is or if maybe I can prevent that from being a bigger more complicated problem in the future. any response would be appreciated thank you all.

    I would do a search and find where this resides. It may be a simple DLL error that is easy to correct... But it may also be spyware masquerading as the true sum.exe in your system32 folder. (According to Google)

    well doing an online scan with ESET produced no results, a deep scan with avast = no results, full scan with AVG = no results as with the rest of these...Spy-bot, Ad-Aware, Ccleaner, the last one that I tried was Mcafee and I think that I am just going to ignore it till something really acts up, doesn't seem like it is really affecting anything from running so far.

    You might also try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

    Glen,

    My Father-In-Law heads an IT dept. for a large university and he swears by that... I'll start weaning myself off of SpyBot as he says, in his opinion, Malwarebytes is superior...
