Have a read of this:- http://www.file.net/process/drvmcdb.sys.html It seems
to be a part of or used by Sonic. Try their site for a removal tool or
perhaps if its a known issue. There are also some google hits for Roxio
forum threads with others having a problem with this so check out their
forums. You should be running spyware removal/prevention software Spybot
and Adaware are free and run ok together. Fairly straightforward in use.

I would be suspicious too. On a personal user level unless you happen to
be very wealthy I doubt you'd get anywhere. I have always said that the
mark of a good program is that it uninstalls completely without trace
unfortunately not many do.

Give it another few days and if no one else has replied start a fresh post.
I think the length of post and the title may have put people off replying.
Perhaps use "Can anyone tell me what this drvmcdb.sys >driver does?" as your
title and explain the basics of the problem, giving further details when
someone is helping you.
