    problem with newdev.exe


    i have a problem everytime i open my pc a notification pops up about
    hardware device that cannot open and it shows that the problem is on
    file named newdev.exe..
    my pc is new .. but i did not have this problem .. i installed google
    earth, then i found a trojan on google earth and after i deleted google
    earth i have this problem. i downloaded autorun from
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys.../Autoruns.mspx
    as mentioned in another thread i found on this site,
    but i cannot find the file to disable it!
    it doesnt apear with the find tool ..
    ( but i can find the file in the windows in my system32 files but i
    didnt bother it because i do not know if i will damage anything!!! )
    do i have to search it with another name with autorun?
    i search as newdev.exe and plain newdev but nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
