Vista security logs, audit failures-5038 system integrity finds this all the time,a search at runscanner . net says it is also a Spotmau file and the two computers that give this audit failure message both have Spotmau installed,is it just an unsigned driver??

Today while I was doing some clean up on this computer I came across the supersafer.sys in device manager as a hidden device. I did a search on Google and found your previous posts along with others from other site locations. However, I hadn't seen this device in device manager before now and it just showed up today. The reason for that is I had to install Spotmau on this computer earlier this afternoon as a new software install. Therefore, for those of you that have Spotmau software installed, supersafer.sys is part of that package. However, if you don't have this software installed, you might want to uninstall or delete the program because it is probably something that isn't supposed to be there.
