Sentinel System Driver

Yeah. I've Googled and know that it's by Rainbow Technologies, which merged with SafeNet some time back.  It's apparently a driver for USB and/or parallel dongles, but I can't figure out why it's on all my Dells and was hoping someone could tell me.  I could delete it, but I'd like to be sure it's not important for some reason or another.

 

The reason I ask is that I have a machine that's throwing BSODs from time to time, and Microsoft's Crash Analysis tool says the Sentinal driver is the problem.  Of course, their debugger says it's Intel's NIC driver causing the problem, so who knows?

 

I've made sure the Intel driver is the latest, so maybe I should just remove the Sentinel driver and see what happens.

 

Thanks for the response.

Google Sentinel System Driver and you'll find several answers. It's some kind of security software by Softnet. It should be listed in Add/remove programs if you want to remove it.
