Driver for the SmartLink modem. Disable if you don't use your modem any longer, just remember to turn it on if you ever want to connect to the Internet over dial-up in some 3rd world country. If your computer doesn't have a modem then it is probably a virus

damn..its use to much cpu usage and make ma cpu slow down..
nope

Definitely installed when the Smartlink modem is installed. Uses 284K private bytes, 944K working size. Can be set to not load with msconfig or autoruns. harmless IF no trojan dialers on the system.

It appears to enable the modem to self dial, when an item of malware enters the system it can access this to connect and complete. Ending process after load-up does not have any adverse effects.

I have this file in system32 and when I delete it after 3-4 seconds of pc activity it "magically" reappears.I think it is part of a dialler hijack trojan or worm, which I had and successfully removed some of the files so it does not cause any actual harm to me,but I dearly like to defeat the remaining parts.
