It is associated with the DLA program which is part of the MyDVD Deluxe Suite made by Sonic. It causes intermittently a blue screen crash on boot up. Sonic have advised me that they have an upgrade which solves this problem. Have not tried it yet

It causes your external hard drives to have "delay write failure"

Sonic Solutions produces Roxio products.
   

The driver file drvmcdb.sys, is Veritas filter driver for Windows 2000 and XP. Veritas makes backup and availability products, and are common parts of other utilities which perform those functions. The DRVMCDB.SYS driver from VERITAS sends an IOCTL-Query to Microsoft's PPA.SYS/PPA3.SYS driver(s), Removal of this driver can have some bad side effects you may not see until such time as you ae in need of a critical restore. I would recommend _not_ uninstalling it!
