Are these viruses, trojans or other kind of malware?
Harv, the same thing here

Thanks glenn30.

Harv..
As Glenn has already suspected, there is "something wrong"..
According to a Yodama of Team Spybot it will be corrected with the next update:
"eSupport.FFBiosExt
is a Firefox extension that allows reading out the Bios information and helps finding an update.
Unfortunately it also installs the file and a service, because the vendor of this software did not supply an uninstall functionallity it has been labled as PUPS (Possibly Unpopular Software).
As it turns out the TVICHW32.SYS is also being used with other hardware analysis software, which may run, for instance with ATI software.
We will exclude detection on this file with the next detection update.

Good to know, especially after I downloaded latest definitions/detection update on 11/09 for SpyBot S&D; still get this false positive.
Thank you!

Great news that those files discovered this evening are a false alarm -- I was quite concerned and would have wasted quite some time researching in Firefox.
