Oracle and .NET incompatibility

This is a curious fact signalled to me by Andrea Boschin... it's really curious and I'd like to know if someone know something about it.

There's an Oracle (version 9 and 10) process called nmupm.exe that, if you've the .NET Framework SDK installed on your machine, hogs the CPU (100%) and never quits. This seems to be caused by an incompatibility between the .NET SDK and Oracle Enterprise Manager. The suggestions given on forums are to uninstalling the .NET SDK (not a good choice).

Someone have news about this? Really interesting to know how to solve this...

Hi Stefano,
I dont have news about this problem, but I have an off-topic question, if you allow me to ask it.

Based on your post, I assume that you are using .NET and Oracle as database. Is that right assumption?
If yes, then how do you handle your sessions? Do you use sticky sessions or you store them in database?

(we are using Oracle as database and it is really paint full, because there are many problems. I hope that Oracle ans Microsoft partnership will solve a lot of them. I have talked to some Oracle guys and they are cooking this new Oracle integration in VS)

No, I'm not an Oracle developer.
For what I know, the "sticky session" means that if you have many instances of Tomcat (for example Sess1 and Sess2) and you start session on Sess1, the subsequent requests will be forwarded to Sess1 as long as Sess1 is running (you never reach Sess2). It means that if Sess1 now is down, then your subsequent request will be forwarded to Sess2, with a different session (a new session created at Sess1 for you). This is
not very good because if your application responsing on Sess1, then moved to Sess2, session data will be lost.

Nothing related to .NET infact. You must be running some locally copied Oracle installation.
I checked my system with filemon downloaded from www.sysinternals.com ?
nmupm.exe was infact scrubbing all my hardisk specially for exe and dll.

Here are the traces it's VIRUS i guess.
