    Hey i was doing the notebook optimization http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=5787
    and when i checked the applications via this link http://www.windowsstartup.com/wso/search.php provided on that thread, i came across two fishy applications. There names are "ccap" and "nvcpl". According to that link that checks the applications the ccap could be a virus or it could be part of symantec. The nvcpl could also be a virus or be part of nvidia. there both spread through networks and my notebook is no exception. Does anybody else have these, im very curious as to weather i have two viruses norton did not detect

    (oh wrong thread? i figure it is a dell so put it in dell)
