As Millerd1 said; If your running a Dell Studio laptop. DELETE THIS FILE. This is a known issue that Dell refuses to repair. Will eat your memory and burn up your processor from it trying to work so hard. Process had my cpu running at 109 degrees when it usually runs around 80 degress, and fan runs ALL THE TIME.

shows up as risky during my nod 32 search and I deleted the wireless lan and had to recover it so my computer could access the web, so I was searching to see what this file is because it was highlighted in red on my Nod 32 scan. Nod32 found 2 issues, all my icons are hidden, and files locked. I have a virus Program data MiswcacyhifUS.exe which is a variant of Win32/Kryptic.AGKE trojan which NOD 32 found and cleaned. I now have to find out what I can do to unlock all my filles. says I had a video hardware error.....still searching for the resolution.

I was running my Magic Jack phone every day on an unprotected Dell laptop and next time I restarted bcmwltry.exe pop up stated could not load and starting in Safe mode it ran extremely slow and could not do anything. After a few minutes tried to reboot and laptop could no longer find the Hard Drive at all! U

its related to a belkin router

After installing Bitdefender Total Security 2012, it would always label it as a potentially malicious file. I went into safe mode and deleted it. Nothing seems to be wrong at all, but it;s still in the recycling bin just in case it needs to be restored.

this is just a dell utility for yer wireless card. totally harmless. kind of junkware in my opinion. does seem to be a bit unnecessary and uses precious resources.
