These two say they do updating and scheduling, and it is just such intrusion that I'm trying to track down. Even though it is a .exe, and they cleaim info is available there, I can't manage to extract any. Maybe if I go to their source, Macrovision.....

And I can't stop them from running in the startup program. It's half a day later, but I couldn't do anything with them. Tried to run them manually from command prompt and couldn't. But see below. Maybe Tcpip is leading somewhere.

Uncheck ISUSPM - that is the InstallShield stuff which does want to run and look for updates periodically. It is configurable, but wants to look once a day. That could mean after 1 hour of idle, it checks. You can change it, but I would uninstall it, but you will have to look for it yourself to see how to do these things. Look in Add/Remove Programs. Reboot and if those processes are still running in TM, terminate them. Where is that CCcleaner Startup screenshot!? |
