What is ntiMUI.exe ?

[swinded]

I use F-Secure Internet Security with Microsoft XP. Right now  F-secure is asking me if I want to allow "ntiMUI.exe" (at location C:\Program Files\New Tech Infosystems\NTI CD DVD-Maker 7) to start "Microsoft Register Server" ( regsvr32.exe, at  C:\WINDOWS\system32).  I do have the NTI CD DVD Maker 7 installed, I got it with purcahse of my computer. But why does NTI want to start Register Server, and what exactly *is* Microsoft Register Server? Is it necessary to allow this? How do I know it's safe?

I googled, but came up with nothing, except the worrying fact that there is a malware out there named regsrvr32.exe.

I have not used NTI since 2006.

Thanks.

I looked at the folder and it seems to be a 44 kb application. There is also a blank wordpad file by the name ntiMUI.log which was created today at around the time F-secure started asking about the .exe -file. F-Secure doesn't recognize either one as bad.

Do you have NTI Shadow or Ninja installed on that machine ? ?

As far as I know, no. Then again, I'm not sure what either of those exactly are .
I have the standard NTI package and NTI Backup NOW! 4.

Then that's where the process originates from.

So I should allow it starting the Register Server? Mostly I think I'm confused because I dont' know what Register Server is, and google isn't helping, which is odd.

regsrvr32 is a built in Windows service...
The service that's calling it is from the software we discussed...
It's normal to have more than one instance of regsvr32 running...
I f it is bugging you uninstall the offending software if you're not using it.
