Nvidia Media Library is not dangerous. I give it a level 2 because it is a program that is not necessary. The Nvidia tray has no real purpose since you can right click anywhere on the empty part of the screen to gain access. Recommendation, go to you msconfig and uncheck the box. It is not needed and takes up resources.

Loads settings on startup, then exits. This program should not stay running in your Task Manager.

error loading c:windows/NVMCTRAY.dll and c:/sys32/NVCPL.dll when doing a clean boot unable to delete or rename this file but able to as administrator but doing so might make the computer go to sleep mode and wake up automatically . hapens with NVIDIA GeForce fx5200 this is a bug if you have not updated your driver if still getting the same then look for it under non plug and play devices in device manager and remove it

Once again, just an NVIDIA application. Make sure that this file is labeled as a .dll. If it's .exe delete it. And of course like all the other NVIDIA .exe's and .dll's there will be NO network traffic, if there is you got yourself a virus or spyware.

Part of nVidia's driver dll.

Most of these entries are incorrect. This nVidia file is NOT part of the drivers and is not required. It only acts as a shortcut to nVidia control panel. I always uncheck it in msconfig.
