"Bs Recorder GOLD" -- bgsvcgen

[TwoRails]

While Googling a running service on this machine, named:

bgsvcgen

I found the usual million descriptions of "malware could be named anything..." and that it is also reportedly part of a program called:

"B's Recorder GOLD"

I've never knowingly installed such a program. So, what I'm figuring is that it is a component of something else I've installed.

Anybody have any ideas what it may be a part of (like Audacity, ImgBurn, or the like) ???

It's been on my machine since June 2004. Thinking it maybe came with a cd burner. Its a rather large app and doubtfull you accidently installed it.

Ya, I'm sure I didn't accidentally install it, too. It probably came with a "suite" and I sure am curious as to which one.

It might maybe came with a Cannon inkjet?

You could look at the folder date to see when you installed it.

B's used to come with Sony CD burners.

I couldn't find any such program (searched on 'gold' 'record' etc) nor was it in Add/Remove programs. I checked the date of 'bgsvcgen' and it was 9/11 so I searched for all files created on that date. It turns out to be an included part of TEMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3, which I installed on that date. There's no indication of "B's Recorder GOLD" but some DLLs in it's directory start with "bgold..." so that's got to be it.

So, mystery solved! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

edit: you got one in, glc, while typing the above. Yes, I've had Sony burners way long ago, so long that they were just CD burners.
