it is used by logitech in their 'setpoint' software for keyboards and mouse. I cannot locate it in my sys32/drivers folder either, so i am hunting for it.

something (driver package?) from Vista (vista_rtm.061101-2205) ; i think i installed it with xp SP3

This file prevented my Alps Thinkpad (on a Dell Latitude D630 notebook) from installing the driver (causes a "Fatal Error" during install). Renaming to wdf01000.old will resolve that issue.

Was consuming 100% cpu on a processor. Unused IEEE1394 was running in it and disabling that device via DeviceMgr solved issue.

Cisco securityreported that it was monitoring my keyboard.

Start up driver for windows if corrupted needs to be replaced with a copy from a running vista installation the CD won't always fix it
  Shirl  
this is common file infected by TR/Rootkit.Gen. If its 100% CPU I guess its active.

It caused a bluescreen. Dell desktop with a dell mouse and logitech Bluetooth keyboard

It monitors the Keyboard, but for what I do not know. My Cisco Security Agent warns me about it all the time.
