Recently, i cannot cannot HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run with regedit and three other registry editor. I went into safe mode, accessed the same registry and delete just the fixcamera entry. When I restart into normal mode, I was able to view that registry key again.

It may have to do with my zonet zvc7500 webcam, the drivers for this cam seem sketchy to say the very least

This file is a part of the operating program for some webcams.

Installed with my SPEED S8850i webcam, while running prevents VMware (both installer and app) from starting

related to my logitech webcam driver, however takes quite some sys memory if kept in startup items

I know for a fact that this file, which is on my pc because of installing a webcam, is safe but I can not figure out why AVG recognizes it as a Trojan.

This is part of the SONIX device driver for SONIX USB-chips based Webcams and other Cameras. File is named fixcamera.exe or camerafixer.exe (both possible)

It came with my webcam software. When fixcamera is running, VMWare (I have version 4.5) doesn't work any more. I deinstalled the webcam, but had to delete the file and registry key by hand.

When this process is running I can neither start the VMWare Workstation executable, nor the installer for it! Seems pretty hazardous!

Trojan/Backdoor

Patrick might have tried simply to reboot first, as it seems extremely unlikely that this program could possibly prevent you from accessing a registry key! It came with my "webcam" (actually celestron microscope) software. If you REALLY can't get at your registry key for some (other) reason - just Start - Run "msconfig" (without quotes) and select "Startup" tab, look for FixCamera, and uncheck the checkbox. Voila. While it did come with the "webcam" software (meaning it's highly unlikely it's harmful) I still killed the process, and ran my image capture (amcap.exe) and it still seemed to work

I installed a capture application to use with Maplins 400x usb microscope camera & this entry appeared

The version of Fixcamera that I cought stopped Vodafone 3G dongle driver software (VMC Lite) being installed. The installation begins, and runs until VMC Lite tries to start the services, and then the installation undoes itself, with a polite message!

Rekha

Bilal Bokhari

I also installed a USB microscope recently and noticed that it seems to prevent VMWare installers from loading
