It is very likely that you will find orphaned keys in the Registry that point to Live Update. I deleted the full directory, and the IObit directory as well, since no products of said company were installed on the system. I checked that the service was indeed deleted, and proceeded to its directory on the system: C:\Program Files (x86)\IObit\LiveUpdate. You should receive a DeleteService SUCCESS message.Type sc delete LiveUpdateSvc and tap on the enter-key.Right-click cmd.exe in the results and select Run as Administrator from the context menu.I have explained how this is done on the linked article.
Next thing I did was to delete the service. I also made sure that the service itself was stopped. Since there was no IObit program left on the system, it did not really make that much sense to have the updater running in the background at all times.įirst thing I did was to change its startup type from automatic to disabled in the Services Manager. I noticed that I did not have any IObit products installed on my system anymore, which led to the conclusion that LiveUpdate.exe was a leftover that - for whatever reason - was not removed during the uninstallation of the last IObit product that made use of it. Now that I knew that, I started to investigate the matter further.
