What is brs.exe

[Afznotermi]

I have a Dell laptop on which i had installed Windows Xp as my operating system. Now the problem is that after installing PowerDVD Ultra on my laptop it seems to be that it has also installed a file in startup called "brs.exe". The only reason I know this is because my spysweeper is showing it as malware. So, i would like to know that what is brs.exe? Is it some kind of virus? Does any body knows about it? Kindly provide me the correct information on the above issue. Thanks.

However, you are still advised to run a regular scan with a reliable antivirus program whenever you encounter a suspicious program. To view version information with Windows Explorer, right-click the file and click Properties, Version. Malware often camouflages itself by using similar nomenclature to legitimate software. A good antivirus and anti-spyware tool, will also help you maintain your system at optimum levels. The program is not visible.

Try to run some good antivirus program on your system. You can definitely disable brs.exe. This has the added benefit that you can reset the region change count on your blu-ray drive if you need to. If you are on Windows XP, you can usually find BRF.dat in the X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\CyberLink\BDNAV folder. Note that X here is the drive where Windows is installed.
