This is a valid program but it is not required to run on startup.
This is used for Ahead InCD Burner, if you disable it, it'll run when you run the software linked to it. Related to Nero

Check the file path, It should be C:\ProgramFiles\Ahead\Nero\Nerocheck.exe, anything different and your likely infected by malware.

truckersmom said:

Ahead Software Gmbh is related to Nero aswell, if you have any suspicions about the actually files post the file paths and we can have a look. I would say this is safe.
