Our virus removal services are second to none. We know where they hide and we know how to get rid of them. There are many people who will remove viruses from your computer, typically they follow a standard process like this:
- Receive computer
- Connect hard drive to another computer, copy over the “Documents and Settings” folder, sometimes only the user folder(s)
- Format hard drive
- Reinstall Windows
- Setup accounts that previously existed
- Put data back on the computer
- Return computer
This is all well and good, if you know where the installation disks for each and every piece of software you had on the computer prior to it being “fixed” and don’t mind spending a few hours reinstalling them. In addition, there are any number of places that malicious files can hide on your hard drive, it may have been put right back on sitting idle until it’s reactivated.
We take a different approach, utilizing sophisticated forensics tools to find all traces of an infection and eradicate it. In addition to removing the malicious software, we install programs and change hidden security settings that help prevent it from happening again.
Thanks.. I use this script and its working correctly…
Thanks again

Hi Donald, glad it’s working for you.
I uninstalled IDT Audio, and even deleted the IDT folder, but the problem still remains. Eventually the flash crashes, and the Sound mixer still hangs when I click on the volume control.
Did you reboot your computer after you uninstalled IDT? I have performed this fix 3 times and have not seen the problem remain, but there could be other factors at play. Please be sure that the STacSV service has been either removed or stopped by going to Start > Run > services.msc (or through the task manager). This seems to be where the real issues come into play as booting into safe mode (which stops non-essential services from running) should let you play Flash video with no problems.
If you haven’t tried this already, reboot your computer into “Safe Mode with Networking” by repeatedly pressing F8 as the computer is booting. Connect to the internet once Windows has finished loading and go to youtube or another website with Flash video to see if it is working. If it does work, then your problem is likely the IDT audio driver, if it still does not work you may have a different problem (try uninstalling/reinstalling Flash).
I rebooted before noticing the problem continued.
The STacSV service doesn’t exist.
I know it has to do with IDT, because when I disable all its audio devices flash works fine without crashing. So I don’t need to go to safe mode to know it’ll work, since in safe mode I noticed there weren’t even any IDT playback devices listed.
And, installing flash again has never worked.
I want to quote your post in my blog. It can?
And you et an account on Twitter?
Sure thing, go right ahead.
This worked for me. Thanks a lot for the tip. You can also uninstall IDT through the device manager if it isn’t in the programs list.
I’ve tried doing run > appwiz cpl in windows 7 but get an error that appwiz does not exist
Make sure you are typing appwiz.cpl (that’s appwiz(dot)cpl). If that doesn’t work, try:
Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program, or as newbie has suggested you can remove it through the device manager.
So far, this is the only solution that has worked for me. After I removed the IDT file my sound was not working. I re-installed as suggested and it works fine now. Thus far, no crashes. Thanks!
