From what I read, the suite of NIR software is not malware in itself. Still,
it is told to act like malware, hence recognized as such by a few
anti-malware scanners. Personally, I have seen several troubles on my
computers, when having NIR-software installed. Once removing the NIR
products, trouble has gone. For one thing, I had a Cookie that kept showing
up as "potentially dangerous", every time I made a scan of the computer. I
really could not figure where that cookie came from. Specially so, since I
deleted all cookies manually, then restarted my machine, and pang, there the
cookie was again. After removing the NIR-software, the cookie never showed
up again.
Whether the NIR itself was to blame for this kind of trouble , I am in no
position to argue. It might even be, that the NIR software opens up
"backdoors" on your computer, that other software does make use of to the
full. This could actually be one explanation, why the NIR software is told
to "act" like a malware.
Should you use NIR software? Go ahead and make your personal decission. If
you are comfortable with the software, then by all means. When I made my
initial chime in here, it was merely to make you aware that your
anti-malware scanner, might report the NIR software as malware. And, if you
still want to use it, you will have to make your Anti-Malware ignore the NIR
roducts.

I don't *think* it's malware, but that's just my guess.

Just beware, that a handful security software, does report
the NirCmd as malware. Doing a search on the matter on the
net, reveals a somehow mixed exprience. Some claim that the
whole suite of Nir software are performing malware actions.
Others claim it is all safe. I am not in a possition to tell
the one more correct than the other, but want to make you
aware that your security software might handle the NirCmd as
malware. If you still want it to run as Chip described, you
will have to make your security software ignore the NirCmd.
Again, not all security software makes any complain about the
Nir suite. So my above text, would only apply in case your
set of security would cause any interruption.

Hi Tim,
Not a WE app, but there is a free program you can search
for and download
named NirCmd. It allows you to use a commandline full of
options to
control
your sound card. Put it somewhere on your disk, and then create a
shortcut
to it in your startup group of your start menu (it's under "all
programs").
You may want to read through all the options, but if you
don't, here's the
commandline just to unmute your soundcard, and it will
execute each time
you
boot (you will need to put the full path in front of the
program name
below):
nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 0
hth,
Chip
