Related to nVidia graphic cards drivers.
[[Application enables user to having 32 virtual desktops, get a
desktop larger than the viewable area of the monitor, being able to
divide the display across more than one monitor, managing

This is a non-essential process.

You may want this, but you do not need it running.
If you don't want it running, delete nwiz from here...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
nwiz
REG_SZ
nwiz.exe /install
--
Hope this helps. Let us know.

nwis.exe/install
Sure it's not nwiz.exe /install? If it is, this sounds like an
Nvidia thing....what video card do you use?
Install Pending-SIFXINST.EXE
Could be a trojan, could be Lanovation software.
I found both of these during a google search - google is your
friend!
Questions for you:
Is your firewall enabled?
Do you have good, current-generation antivirus software running,
kept updated, and have you run a full scan recently?
Have you downloaded & installed the latest versions of Spybot &
AdAware, updated them, and run full scans to look for/clean
malware? Is Windows patched fully via Windows Update?
Thanks.
