pcouffin.sys Windows process?

[Deskmukh]

hi,
i have downloaded and installedConvertXtoDVD yesterday.The installation start but somehow no end, especially the application pcouffin.sys "apparently took 15 minutes.

Is this a virus? Or any spy ware? Trojans? What now? Uninstalling the program does not, do not delete, move, do not!

What can I do now?! Please give me some tips!

Thank you!

Procedure to remove pcoufin.sys from the computer, if the uninstall failed :

1). On c:\windows\system32\drivers, remove pcoufin.sys

2). On the registry, you've to delete this following entry :

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pcouffin

Reboot your computer...

Low-level CD-ROM driver installed by ConvertXtoDVD, is buggy and makes your system BSOD with PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 0x000004E error. Get rid of this software, there are hundreds of alternatives, besides an AVI-encoding application has no rights to start screwing with low-level cdrom drivers.

Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection.

The driver can be started or stopped from Services in the Control Panel or by other programs. The program has no visible window. The service has no detailed description. pcouffin.sys is not a Windows core file. pcouffin.sys seems to be a compressed file.
