Are A9Helper.A9 and HidInputMonitorX malware infections?
in [Windows Update]

From: MrSoftware on 1 Apr 2010 12:16 Many people who have posted WU [Windows Update] problems on various internet help sites have the following two Active X controls. Directory = C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files - A9Helper.A9 - HidInputMonitorX [1] Are these valid Microsoft software devices? [2] I have removed them but WUAU [Windows Update Automatic Update] seems to download/re-install them When the ActiveX files (above) are examined the following are blank or bogus. Description Company Copyright Thus, I expect they are NOT Microsoft controls and can be removed.
