Hello everyone,
while looking at the startup services in Windows, I noticed a service that starts automatically and I'm not familiar with it.
When searching on my best friend (Google), I couldn't find any more information. :'-c
This service is called "ATKGFNEX Service" and I want to mention that my antivirus (Antivir) detected a virus that seems to have been removed.
But I'm really wondering what this service is?
Could you please shed some light on it?
Thank you in advance and happy New Year ;-)

What I know is that the ATKGFNEX Service was not enabled on my computer, and everything was working very well (my i7 processor was running at a maximum of 10% CPU usage)
I activated this service to see what it did: I immediately disabled it again: my processor was running at 100% (yes, it's true) CPU usage, making it impossible to play BF3 or other games.
After disabling it, I return to my 100%.
Moral: I advise you not to enable this service.
