Crashes your Windows Explorer, when you right click your mouse. Not sure where i got it from, but I disabled it with ShellExView and ive had no problems since..

Sony SecuROM file which will cause a ton of slowdown, disables ATi/AMD video card functions, and causes explorer crashes to the point where the computer becomes almost unusable.
   
I am an accountant and I have recently installed GRID (racing game) on my Windows Vista PC. After the installation, the initialisation of one of my accounting packages caused Windows Explorer to malfunction. I downloaded and installed ShellExView and in this way determined that this Shell Extension was the cause of the problem.

It is made by Sony DADC Austia AG. And it seems to crash windows explorer when rightclick on a .exe file. If you run ShellExView and disable the dll, then my computer doesn't crash while rightclick an .exe file in explorer. The link is in dutch.
