Computer Security - ABOARD.EXE and AOSD.EXE

Default ABOARD.EXE and AOSD.EXE


Does anyone know what these files are as they both are constantly running on
my machine. Both were pre-installed on a Packard Bell XP Home system to
c:\apps\aboard. ABOARD.EXE (Activboard Application) is a whiteboard
application which I do not have installed and is started from HK_LM:Run. I
can not see how AOSD.EXE (ActivOSD Application) is started - it is not
listed as a service or in SpyBot in system startup. I have googled both
these files and can find virtually nothing on them except for a process list
that has them both. For both files the properties company information is NEC
Computers International. Thanks

Thanks Unk and yep the file aboard.exe is the Packard Bell ActiveBoard
multimedia keyboard manager. Required if you use the additional keys and
want to see the status of the Num Lock, Caps Lock, Scroll Lock keys. The
file aosd.exe manages the onscreen display for the active keyboard controls.
Obvious now we know, heh - thanks again for your time.
