raintheory Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) I've searched and found 1 post referencing SSAAD.exe... I am wondering if anyone has any updated information on any problems that could arise if I delete this file? I'm tired of having it run everytime I boot, and it likes to keep putting itself in startup even after you take it out.. grr... Thanks a bunch all!Edit: I'm running SS 3.1 on win2000...

From my experience, I believe it should not run every time you boot your system. Regardless, I think it’s best to leave it as it is.I suspect the SSAAD.exe is a "controller" of some sort for ATRAC Audio Devices - such as the VAIO Pocket VGF-AP1L or the NW-HDx series. I do notice the SSAAd.exe running in the background briefly when I connect my VAIO Pocket to the PC. Thus, you may want to leave it as it is for now.

The Low Volta Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 i like to get a range of view on what a file is & if it's harmful.←for all windows services/processes that run on startup there used to be such a page by Blackviper... it was mentioned (and linked to) in kurisu's "How to keep your PC virus/spyware free"-thread but the page is down (and bought by Network Solutions)... I've seen that kurisu is aware of this (well I did mention it to him ) and that he is now searching for some similar site apparently...seeUseless/Insecure Windows XP/2000 ServicesWILL ADD SOON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
