I suddenly have a bunch of unknown devices showing up in Device Manager - seems to have started around March 28, 2012....the first one, now there are 16 of them. All are under Network Adapters with the same hardware Id of MS_ASWEBRMP. I can disable them in Device Manager but not uninstall them. And on occasion, after reboot, Windows will automatically discover the very same device and attempt to install it...that's why there are 16 of these devices now. Can not remove these from the registry either no matter what I do for setting permissions and or group policies.
I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on a Dell Studio XPS 1645. Interestingly enough on my other Dell Laptops with Windows 7 Home (with same Lan and Wireless adapters) these unknown devices do not show up.
Any help would be appreciated...I'm out of ideas, and Dell support has no idea either. They refer me to Microsoft for Windows 7 support, insisting it has to be an OS issue.

Hello JaysenGlebold,
Please try to detect the driver path then remove it manually. This can be dangerous sometimes if the driver boots with Windows. You may want to use HiJackThis to check for malicious or spyware files on your system ( Including Services and Files). HiJackThis may help you in uninstalling the drivers and here is a tutorial: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-use-hijackthis/#HowToUse
Method [1]: Detect the driver path
- Click on the Start menu, Then select Control Panel
- Double-click on System, Then select the Hardware tab from the top
- Under Device Manager click on Device Manager
- Right-click on the driver you would like to detect its path and select Properties
- Then from the new window, Select the tab Driver from the top
- Click on "Driver details"
You'd be able to detect the driver path when the new Window is opened. Sometimes the file might be locked, You can use IOBit Unlocker to unlock locked files by another processes.

Thanks,
I hope this solves the problem :)
Thanks for your input Picrofo EGY but it's not that simple. The device has no driver, thusly no path. The unknown device(s), are called Aswebr Miniports, that have no physical presence on my PC or network and there is no thrid party software on the PC installing, controlling, using or calling for it. The Hardware Id value is ms_aswebrmp and a OS file - aswebr.sys is controlling it.
