nvidguiv.exe rootkit?

I just installed tiny personal firewall. This damn nvidguiv thing just keeps
trying to connect ands won't let me get on the web without shutting off the
firewall? According to it's properties it's some kind of vid management.
Looked it up on google and there it's connected with remon.sys(I've got that
too). Anyone else have this file in their taskmanager?

Your firewall is right to block it. Nothing to do with nVidia. Part of a
Trojan / Worm that has got on your system, probably before you put on
the firewall software...

This is trojan, it has nothing to do with nvidia.

Google "nvidguiv" and you'll find a good deal of information about it.

Sure does sound like a hijacker. Get down Spybot and
run that. In the mean time, flush your Temp Internet Files
directory and reboot. It also might be a Multiplayer game
thing like Steam ?? You might start up your games and
try going to the web, and see if nvid pops up and barks
about the firewall.

I've been running both Norton AV and Search&Destroy for months. This thing
has been there all along.I though it was part of nvidia software.
