    GMT.exe in XP

    Well I was wondering if the GMT.exe in WinXP was really important ?? as it seems to use around 37 mb's of memory.

        Umm... isn't GMT.EXE part of that spyware Gator program?

          GMT.exe sure isn't part of Windows.

            Thats what I thought so I disabled it and it doesn't appear to make the slightest bit of difference.

              If I were you I'd pull ad-aware, update the reference file, and let 'er rip.

                  Yes, GMT.exe and CMESys.exe both are installed by the Gator Spamware that comes with DivX5. Just kill those tasks unless you want to do DivX5 encodings.

                    What I'm about to say is going to be controversial.

                    1. I'm in favor of buying software.

                    2. I'm in favor of pirating software, when the manufacturers of that software stick you with MALWARE.

                    If you use DIVX enough to want the pro version, either buy it or make a political stand against MALWARE, and pirate it.

                      There <I>are</I> ways to extract the codec.

                        Oh, if you just need the CODEC, that's another story entirely. I'll gladly ship it off to you.

                        BUT, if you have the spyware installed, you probably have the Pro (aka encoding-enabled) version.

                        One would assume that if you have the pro version, you WANT to do encoding, yes?

                          I've removed the GStartup (this is the thing that starts the Gator thingy) from my Autostart drawer. Just take this little file out there and you won't have those two processes (GMT and CMESys) started at the windows startup. Decoding of DivX works fine without those.
                          Whenever I want to do a DivX ENcoding, I simply manually start the GStartup before. Oh, and of course I'm not connected to the INet then.
