I have it on my Acer laptop. I've deactivated it using ccleaner and my webcam seems to function 100%.

PLFSetL.exe is on Acer netbooks and laptops, and is associated to Sonic Software...so if you are using anything Sonic for AV, then chances are, you have this little guy on there...and NO-ONE that I can find can tell me what the executable does. It is NOT viral, if original...supposedly.

It's sonic software, meaning it's not ACER specific.

When I installed Acer Crystal Eye webcam software (Suyin's "Camera_Suyin_v2.0.4_Vistax86x64_XPx86x64") from the official Acer website driver support (under Driver tab), the PLFSetL.exe process was installed as auto-start in MSConfig (which I later disabled from auto-run).

Webcam works perfectly without PLFSetL.exe auto-starting, and curious, PLFSetL.exe does not starts when webcam starts.

i have used my Acer laptop for almost 2 years and have not until today received any warnings of this file, but today suddenly my AVG anti-virus goes bananas over this file.

I have not used either Sonic or webcam for many months, and at least not today, when just the normal applications as MS Outlook and Mozilla Firefox has been opened.

When ticking the box "remove as Power User" in AVG, AVG managed to move the file to the Virus Vault. The laptop still seems to work properly (not having tested either Sonic or the webcam).
