i got this problem
 
is anyone familiar with ASUS technology?


i have a ASUS laptop, the problem is asus live update, well this is the first time i get updates and it fails to install them properly


and everytime it annoys me, that it pops up to be searching for asus updates but then further doing nothing


it feels like spyware to me, but i feel worried something bad will happen to my pc if i remove it


i googled it, and many more people find it more buggy and spyware than a official live updating program, and someone else said you still get windows updates if you removed asus live update


so i need a little help, is it safe to remove asus live update?

The problem is, you have access to the internet.

It sounds like all you had to do was delete Asus update a bit like when McAfee won't go away so I just uninstalled it as it's a terrible program and AVG is better .

Sometimes updates can be annoying , and you've got to be careful of viruses sneaking in and unwanted things installing themselves :facepalm: .

It's always worth checking your control panel to make sure the programs on there are needed . You can even see the date they were installed .

i now have it on manual control so it can't annoy me by automatically updating, which doesn't work anyway

But you should have more control . I had to do that with automatic updates that constantly configured a ridiculous amount , its got to the point where it looked like it was just making up updates :suspect:

There's no modern computer/laptop out there that should be that time consuming with updates . So I cancelled the automatic updates as it became a joke as it was configuring loads all day :bored: :shocked: .
