Guest Kue2 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Spybot search & destroy wants to remove this file from windows/system32 in Vista64. Is this a system file if so it should be protected right?How do I know if this is a false positive or a real threat?

Guest Jane C Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Re: tvichw64.sys Hi Kue2 EnTech, Taiwan provide that driver. Have you installed anything that might use it such as the BIOS check ActiveX from esupport.com? -- Jane, not plain ;) 64 bit enabled :-) Batteries not included.

Guest Theo Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Re: tvichw64.sys Google Is Your Friend (G.I.Y.F.) The following was found using GOOGLE. At: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/dev/hw32/index.shtm Seek and ye shall receive! TVicHW32 Overview TVicHW32 is a general purpose device driver that can be used by practically any programming language. It lets you access and control hardware directly from any Win32 application under Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/2003/XP/XP 64-bit without having to use the Windows DDK. What is TVicHW32? You've just written an application to control a custom or system hardware device under DOS or Win16. Now comes the task of porting your software to Win32. You know this is a major undertaking because no single programming language contains the constructions or functions for Win32 hardware access, i.e. port I/O operations, physical memory accessing, hardware interrupt handling or DMA functions. Up to now, your only choice was to write your own device driver. You also know this means: > you must have the Microsoft Driver Development Kit (DDK ) installed on your PC > you must examine the driver structures—which are quite different for Windows 95/98/ME (VxD) and for Windows NT/2000 (kernel-mode driver) > if you don't know C then you'll have to learn this programming language and very likely the assembler instructions > you'll need to learn driver debugging methods and probably have to purchase a high-cost debugging tool > be prepared to lose data from your hard drive because even small driver bugs produce the Blue Screen of Death. Fortunately, you now have a much simpler choice. TVicHW32 is a general purpose device driver that can be used by practically any programming language. It lets you access and control hardware directly from any Win32 application under Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/2003/XP/XP 64-bit without having to use the Windows DDK.
