Atiedxx.exe - is it a virus?

Joesph

I see a process running on my Windows machine called atiedxx.exe. It doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before. Is this a trojan/virus?

No, atiedxx.exe is not a virus. It is part of the AMD Video Card drivers.

Owners of the AMD ATI Radeon video card will spot the four processes ccc.exe, atiedxx.exe, atiesrxx.exe and mother.exe once they open the Home windows task manager. Individuals processes are installed with installing the ATI Catalyst driver package for that Home windows operating-system. But what exactly are these processes doing or supplying and it is it essential to ask them to running constantly on the pc system?

Atiedxx.exe and atiesrxx.exe would be the AMD Exterior Occasions Client Module and AMD Exterior Occasions Service Module. Both processes are performed once the Home windows Service AMD Exterior Occasions Utility is began. This particular service was referred to as ATI Hotkey Poller in Home windows XP and Home windows Vista.

Which means that the service accounts for supplying hotkey use of various ATI features. It's because of this suggested to disable the service if hotkeys aren't accustomed to manage ATI features.

Enter [services.msc] within the Home windows start menu form or press [Home windows R] to go in [services.msc] to spread out the help configuration menu. Locate the AMD Exterior Occasions Utility within the listing of services. A double-click will open the qualities from the service. Make certain to alter the startup type from Automatic to Disabled and also to Stop the service within the same menu.

atieclxx.exe is not a virus, but atieDxx.exe is! Look more closely at the filenames and you will find this to be true. Whoever invented ATIEDXX.exe is one smart cookie, because noone seems to have picked up on this slight spelling difference!
I have this virus on my laptop and it's slowed it right down. I can't find any solutions for it, because everyone keeps thinking it's related to the ATI card - it's not.
