Hi all,

For the past few weeks now when I turn on the PC and reach the Desktop sometimes this box will appear and say I AM SERVICE!! - to me it doesn't look like a legit program!

I've done spyware + Adware + Virus Scans but hasn't found anything. In the box there's buttons you can press, if I press them some random numbers appear and it crashes and a windows box will appear saying "aaCenter.exe has stopped working"

What do you lot think it is?

Thanks again,

Try scanning with Malwarebytes as well.

It's not malware apparently, just a peculiar part of Taiwanese Asus ACPI driver. Meant to go online for assistance.

HijackThis is probably the best way to kill aaCenter.exe. Also:

Download the latest ACPI driver from ASUS or simply reinstall your existing ACPI driver. Not sure why, but the problem goes away.
Or:

go to>
C:\program files\ASUS\AASP\1.00.32 and rename all ".exe" in ".***"
the program doesn't work and if you need it some day it's still there.
I dsabled it 2 weeks ago and everything is OK
