OT: Anyone heard of this file?
siae3123.exe? It is loaded in my windows/system32 folder and is more than a little annoying. It pops up every 15-3 seconds for 1-2 seconds and then goes away.
Whe I try to delete it, I get a message saying that another program is using it and it can't be deleted 
It isn't on any virus definition list I could find.

Re: OT: Anyone heard of this file?
Hmmm... it's not on this list either {clicky} . I'm not trying to say that list has everything, but it's never failed me before. Check the site, see if you misspelled or if the program running is called something different.
[EDIT]
I can't find anything on google or a google Groups search. And it's not on in my WinXP directory.
It's also not in {this} bigger list.
Hmmm... this could be nothing, but I suprised there's no info anywhere. Keep us informed Pathfinder.

Yep, I had same results. Not on my system, not on Google, and not on SARC.

Adaware doesn't recognize it either....

Re: OT: Anyone heard of this file?
It seems bit unlikely to be part of Windows if it's behaving in such a blatantly intrusive way. Boot in 'safe' mode and it will not be activated. Then you can safely delete it. You might want to make sure you have the very latest data file for Adaware, and maybe also dowwnload Spybot S&D because there are so many spyware and spamware programs out there that it sometimes requires both to remove them all.

Baron: That didn't work either.
This p.o.s. installed at 5 pm yesterday, somehow, someway.
