Cledx.exe is part of the syncrosoft protection system. The "Team H20 Cledx" is a warez patch. The real cledx.exe is required for applications using the syncrosoft licensing system.

its a proccess made by H2O to simulate a fake usb device, when it working, youd be able to load certain plugins and other music making softwares.

cubase dongle, absolutely fine. obviously virus can be attached to any file, so check that your source is reliable. Great job for me though!

It workin only under XP windows, on other(Vista or 7) has included fatal error, witch slows all processes on your computer after starting windows. But, when you have version with "Team H2O cledx" sign in taskbar, its a virus included in programs "SyncroSoft Emu" or "discoDSP Discovery VSTi". Uninstall it!!!. Actually this warez patch is not danger, but your Cubase has instant acces on internet like flash or ftp. Be carefull and protect your privacy.
