ich *habe* eine Grafikkarte, die den seltenen und nicht mehr aktuellen KYRO-Grafikprozessor verwendet. Das ist eine Hercules 3D Prophet 4000XT. Die läuft, weil sie BILLIG war. Der KYRO PowerVR Treiber benötigt diese Datei, um ein Icon in die Taskleiste zu schreiben und im Autostart mitzulaufen. Wenn alle diese Voraussetzungen NICHT gegeben sind, ist es besser, den Prozeß zu löschen, denn dahinter KANN sich ein Trojaner verbergen.
