Installed as part of the D-Link WLAN Drivers for XP Home/Pro/ Server 2003 R2. Removal is initiated via Add/Remove Programs interface in windows. Core services (D-Link Applications Drivers listed in Add/Remove Programs) must be removed in a REVERSE string of the installation in order to succeed. Without this application the WLAN for D-Link will not acquire signal (NO CONNECTION).

It seems to be installed when you install a D-Link Wireless connection, but as D-Link is made in China maybe it is spyware.

Seems to be associated with D-Link and screws up logging onto E Bay and Google homepage. Attempts to connect at very short intervals, canot uninstall it - yet!

it comes from D-link - updated air-plus program

It's been stated elsewhere that anio.sys comes from a D-Link wireless NIC driver, which fits, as I started getting the error after installing the wireless NIC. Unfortunately, without the NIC, I have no net, so it's not like I can say definitively that it was the driver that caused it -- enabling my net may merely have enabled the problem to be seen.
