GEARAspiWDM.sys causes problems with PlexTools.

The unsigned driver GEARAspiWDM.sys (to be precise: upper filter) that you installed on my system cause problems with my DVD recorders (Px-716A and PX-760A). First thing I notice is a longer responce time (delay). The big problem is that there are faults while trying to erase or burn DVD media (I mostly use rewritable disks). I love iTunes, but just keep in mind why using upper filters and/or unsigned drivers is a very-very bad idea! The least you can do is to ask the user if he/she wants to install this driver.

I found my way to uninstall the driver manually. Later I found the uninstaller from Gear Software:

Now iTunes will alert me that it cannot burn disk on every startup. You know what? I don't care about this future! So don't bother me every startup!
