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.

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.
