It is possible to remove NvCplDaemon so that is doesn't come back. I use a program called EasyCleaner from ToniArts (which is a freeware program) It's been very handy in keeping my computer clean, anyway when I open EasyCleaner to see if any malifide startup entries are present, I click on Startup now the NvCplDaemon will be flagged as a valid green entry though, now when I delete the entry I get a message from Spybot S&D to ask if I'm sure start up entry should be removed, you'll see Spybot S&D will view a small window, now make sure that in the Spybot window you select the option to remember that the startup entry is deleted, so every time windows starts up Spybot kills off the entry after I log into Windows XP when it wants to activate. NvCplDaemon doesn't have chance, haha. It does the trick! And the actual service is not even disabled but set to activate automaticly at startup but the entry aint there because I did as explained above.
