Yes - this is exactly it! I have an external LG DVD writer (which I've had for over a year) and lgfw.exe is run from HKLM\...\Run. This is largely unnecessary (although bizarrely I think there was a firmware update just the other week!). I've disabled it in Autoruns. After your first post (before the edit) I had actually found the same page and a very useful tip...

Add name of disabled function. Typo.
