Spybot report - NvCPLDaemon query

[mark@recurve-bow.demon.co.uk]

Spybot S&D reports the following:

ABetterInternet: Autorun settings (NvCplDaemon)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run\NvCplDaemon

I have disabled the Daemon but I'm not convinced that this is an
infection. Has anyone else had this flag up?

Thanks
Mark

You could be safe and submit the NvCplDaemon executable to
http://www.virustotal.com for a scan.

I would tend to agree that (barring any results from VirusTotal)
NvCplDaemon should not be classed as an infection, but it "should" be
classed as useless to most users.

Yes, and I also suspect a false positive.
