It might be related to ActivBoard whiteboard program - do you have this?

Dev I am not sure that it is adware - I have both SpyBot and Ad-Aware and it
is not detected by either. Val the file ABOARD.EXE is Activboard Application
but I do not have the whiteboard program. I also have the file AOSD.EXE
(ActivOSD Application) running constantly. ABROAD is started from HK_LM:Run,
I can not see how AOSD starts - it is not listed as a service or in SpyBot
in system startup. Both files are small and are located in c:\apps\aboard
and both were pre-installed on a Packard Bell XP Home system. I have googled
both these files and can find virtually nothing on them except for a process
list that has them both. For both files the properties company information
is NEC Computers International. Thanks

Mike,
I found some references to ActivBoard on Packard Bell forums (UK)
http://forum.packardbell.com/en/view...ght=activboard

Seems to be part of the multimedia controls?

Val

Thanks Val for this. The file aboard.exe is the Packard Bell ActiveBoard
multimedia keyboard manager. Required if you use the additional keys and
want to see the status of the Num Lock, Caps Lock, Scroll Lock keys. The
file aosd.exe manages the onscreen display for the active keyboard controls.
Obvious now we know, heh - thanks again for your time.
