dlashx_w.dll is a library program for DLA (Drive Letter Access) that works with Roxio Creator (and/or Sonic Solutions) "RecordNow" software to permit drag & drop of audio or data files onto a CD or DVD contents folder for immediate burning. I assume that it is a Browser Helper Object to permit files from right click "Save target as" links (e.g. *.jpg, *.mp3, or *.pdf) files to be saved directly from a browser link to a disk for burning, although I have always preferred to save such files directly to my hard drive first, before using DLA feature to drag a copy of the downloaded file to a disk for burning. I have never used DLA to copy a file directly from the browser to a CD's contents as the CD is burned. I plan to disable this feature in the IE browser only, and leave it available as an option for the Roxio burning software in my Windows XP system. I have not found the DLA feature of Roxio to be very handy, and seldom use it at all.

Norton scan considers this a possible threat.

I just installed IE 8 and it told me the add-on was not compatible and that I should search for an update. My belief is that IE 8 is crashing for some of you becuase you do not have the update. I'm not quite sure what it is, but I think it's necessary.

Go to Add/Remove programs in control panel, then look for RecordNow and/or Sonic (Sonic DLA should also be present), if this is the case then you may need to remove all of these applications. Recordnow and Sonic ARE NOT REQUIRED to burn CD(s)/DVD(s) as Windows has its own burning utility, if you need one go for NERO!

Is associated with both cd\dvd burnign software, or VPN software. Not dangerous but not critical

VPN connections can be exploited. This file is used by Roxio and has known conflicts with HP all in one printer. If you use all 3 youd better take precautions. If you dont use VPN connections youd better query firewall state and look at active connections and services that use them. The company that made DVR Mad Dog Multimedia drive supplies a Roxio disk that Roxio provides no support or updates for. It is possible the Mad Dog company is closing; I cannot access their web site for further information. This situation presents lots of scary scenarios and what-ifs.
