D-Link, Sygate & Anio.sys

[Tullphan]

I'm having alot of popups from my Sygate about "Anio.sys" being blocked.
I have D-Link DWL-G510 wireless adapter card installed.
Is there any relation between the 2?
Also, under the networking adapters in the device manager, what is a "packet scheduler miniport #3"?

no link to your d-link (heh), some info about the process:

http://www.file.net/process/anio.sys.html

regarding the packet scheduler, it's a device that allows alternative connection methods through Windows XP. have you recently upgraded to SP2, built a PPPoE connection, or installed a new piece of networking equipment?

I doubt that it is any thing related to a Wireless Card.

What are you connected to? Under what conditions that the popups come on?

If you do not use the proper protecting configuration to the Internet you can have hundreds of PoUps in few minutes.

In case that you are "leeching" through the Wireless to some one else Internet/Network who knows what can be coming from there.

Actually I've seen "Anio" when I install wireless card driver before.
It's probably some application stuff that DLink used from a 3rd party. (kind of like Windows backup was actually from Veritas)

LOL what else they can think of, in order to sell, a midiocore Wireless card.

However Tullphan it probably means that you can allow it through a rule in your software Firewall

Thanks Cooky for this info.

My wireless system is legit...i'm not "leeching". I'm running a D-Link router with my cable connection. Here is a link to my card.
Earlier today, for no reason that I can think of, I lost my internet connection...even the icons for my wireless connection & the D-Link utility in the lower right corner.
When I went to the device manager, a yellow exclamation point was next to my wireless card & the packet scheduler miniport #3.
I tried moving my wireless card to another slot to no avail. I then uninstalled & reinstalled the software, then the card. That's when I started getting the messages.
In the folder where the D-Link software is installed, there's a program called "Anio" and another called "ANIWZCS". For some reason, the D-Link utility icon no longer shows up & I cannot start it by double-clicking the desktop icon or the icon in the system folder.
As far as occurence as to when the popup appears while doing general internet surfing...ebay, here, etc.
I still, however, have a yellow exclamation point next to the packet scheduler miniport #3 & am unable to uninstall...only disable.
