This was made by one member of the ATI team who programmed the RADEON series!!
Meaning that a hacker has planted a virun in every ATI RADEON driver, but the virus lays dormant to stay hidden from program checks and virus scanners. But recently patch 7.2+ has been release, yes the patch updates your driver BUT IT ALSO ACTIVATES THE VIRUS!
The virus slows ur pc to a halt, causes crashes and records data. All ATI users must download this scanner from uniblue and resolve it asap. Appartley this hacker is syphoning pin codes credit card info and using it to use illigal transaction. If you have a ati radeon driver and ur pc is suspiously slow reboot immidiatley and use the uniblue scanner. Report have been filed that thousands of dollars are withdrawn from back accounts globally!


V9ers this is shocking news, and the best part ATI DOESNT KNOW WHATS GOING ON! they know there is a problem but they dont know why!
Beware when bye Radeon product in future.

Good luck!

Edit: Nortan seems to have the issue underhand. NOD is still struggling to find the virus and aniblue is a bad virus scanner. My vote update nortan and kick some ass.

~LOM out.

If you Google this information you'll see that one of CCC's files is supposed to be called mom.exe, the same name of a known trojan.

The one in the 7.2 and 7.3 drivers is perfectly safe.

we have 7.4 and this causes crashes and slow speed >.< (luckily its on our home pc not my speedbox and im network admin )

Seems lots of people are having issues with 7.4, so it might be a good idea to roll back.

need 7.4 to play cnc3 =[

So has the issue with your GPU..

Has it been sorted yet?

hmmm ya I seem to see that file in my system...

it seems as it's just a concidence with the naming convention that it's the same as the virus called mom...

that file is an implementation of dot net file and does not have anything to do with the keylogger spyware

So what exactly does mom.exe actually do to your system?

Breastfeeds?

You guys are fucking idiots.

check the TROLL!

Says the dumbass that replies to a year old topic....

hahahahha!!!

what a J( at )ckass!

And you're fucking banned. Smartass.

awh me wanted to see wat his reply would be
