Ich halte die Informationen im Internet für sehr zweigeteilt, manche sagen, es sei Malware und muss unbedingt weg, online-Virenfilter und auch Avira meldet, keine Bedrohung... Im zweifelsfall immer löschen.

Wird bei mir von Hersteller Sonix angezeigt (http://www.sonix.com.tw/sonix/home.do) also wird schon einen Sinn haben.

When I installed Acer Crystal Eye webcam software (Suyin's "Camera_Suyin_v2.0.4_Vistax86x64_XPx86x64") from the official Acer website driver support (under Driver tab), the PLFSetL.exe process was installed as auto-start in MSConfig (which I later disabled from auto-run). Webcam works perfectly without PLFSetL.exe auto-starting, and curious, PLFSetL.exe does not starts when webcam starts.
