Program is called Arcsoft print creations I believe, and it probably came with a camera or scanner. It causes Explorer to lock up. No thanks.

As far as I can tell, it installs as some sort of service. Most likely to be use'd by Arcsoft media impressions software. I asume it possabily use's it for connecting cameras and the like, for use in direct importing of video or possably also audio files to make home movies ect.

For the first time and without asking for execution of a program, this window labelled "Microsoft" popped up saying : ArcSoft Daemon has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
