ati2evxx.exe known as ATI external event utility ati2evxx, has the following information
and may help up understand this process better.

Description:
ati2evxx.exe is a process installed alongside ATI Display Adapters and provides additional
configuration options for these devices. This program is a non-essential process, but
should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.


The process known as ati2evxx.exe is used by ATi graphic cards. If you do not have an ATI
graphics card installed in your computer it should be safe to stop this process. Otherwise
if you do have an ATI graphics card installed, you should leave this process running
unless it is causing your system to become unstable.

Thank you for your response

1) running Norton internet security for the past 3 years didn’t have a virus

2) running lavasoft ad-aware that takes care of spywares etc.

3)don’t have graphic cards so the ? How do I remove that file

Ran "search files" and it showed 2files from "windows32

Will it be safe to move it to "removables" and then see how it reacts

Your answer is greatly appreciated Alex

It takes more than one anti-spyware app to catch everything. Ad-Aware is
not enough by itself for all the non viral malware out there. Also I
certainly wouldn't use NIS, NAV or any of those Norton home security
products.
