help!

Hi,

It is installed by the Creative Audigy line of sound cards. If you have a new PC with an Audigy sound card or an Audigy processor on your motherboard, there is a good chance that this file is running on startup.It's "Creative Filter AudioControlMB Module" (ctmbha.dll, version 1.0.1.22).

     It sounds like it helps Windows control the audio on your motherboard. It looks pretty harmless, so I suggest leaving it in place until Creative releases more information about what it does.

Regards

Mak

kenju4u,

The following is from this page, a Hijack Support site:

The Temp folders should be cleaned out periodically as installation programs and hijack programs leave a lot of junk there. I am unable to find conclusive information about this file, do you know what this is? C:\DOCUME~1\Laura\LOCALS~1\Temp\clclean.0001 If it belongs to a legit program, you may want to move it out of the Temp folder.

That is the closest thing to definitive information about the file that I could come up with.

Thanks for the info guys, I guess there is no harm in leaving it running as long as its not a virus or malware...

My new inspiron E1505 has the clclean.0001 process running every time i start my computer.. It is also trashing my hard drive with clclean.000 clclean.001.clclean.002
clclean.003 clclean.004 and so on.. It putting these files in c:\documents and settings\admin\local settings\temp..

Each clclean.000 file is 1.21MB

heh heh.. well i have had nothing but dell computers and have always had good luck with them.. so when you uninstalled the creative software did your sound and all that still work.. and you said that the clclean.XXX went away or not

Yes the clean.xxx went and so did the sound and all the audity tools and programs that allow me to change settings

Yeah I still have this running, its part of the audity software or emulator. Its pretty freaking annoying but neither Dell nor Creative has been any help. Dell tells me its a software issue and so they wanna charge me for extra support and creative tells me its something dell has in their software bundle they sent me..all i know is that when i uninstall audity software from my computer the clean.xxx process goes away...

its regarded! I am never buying a dell again...wish i could return this one and get a ABS. THey are so much better.

DELL IS WACK!

Well, I fixed its little red wagon. In the registry, at key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run look for the key named MBMon. Its data is Rundll32 CTMBHA.DLL,MBMon You can delete it outright, but then you'd have to know what and where it was to put it back. I just changed it to Don't Rundll32 CTMBHA.DLL,MBMon Windows will never find such a command, and it won't complain either when it fails to do so, so it just won't run. If you go to the System Configuration Editor (Start, Help, Tools, System Configuration Editor) and check the Startup tab, you'll find the new command there, checked to run, but of course it can't. No harm done. After making the change, restart Windows to stop the process. When it stops at Windows shutdown, it removes the folder it created in your Local Settings\Temp folder and leaves only the clclean.0001 file. That's all you'll need to delete.
