Sagem ADSL modem connection diagnostic tool. Not Spyware

Intalled as part of Sagem ADSL USB Modem routine. Will be safely removed if USB modem is no longer in use and software is uninstalled. Relates to "remote access services" (hence the RAS in the file name).

Installed with Sagem adsl usb modem - can be disabled from startup using msconfig with no ill effects

It apeared after installing the Sagem ADSL USB Modem on Vista. After installation there is always an error on Windows startup saying "ADI RAS setup application error" and apparently it closes with the typical Windwos message asking if one wants to search for a solution online. It should not be dangerous because it is part of the modem's installation, but it also doesn't seem to be essential because the modem works...
Antonio Barbosa

Semms to be made for additional support for the Sagem Fast 800 ADSL USB Modem but not essential. With another kind of modem it could be a dialer and/or dangerous i think

appeared as I was installing my sagem USB ADSL modem. I was not online so I think it's harmless and innocent
