The genuine LiveUpdate.exe file is a software component of IObit LiveUpdate by IObit Pty, Ltd..The name "LiveUpdate.exe" is used by various companies, usually for software to check with the publisher's server to apply updates. It tends to install in a subpath of "C:\Program Files" ending with "\%PublisherName%\LiveUpdate\". Sometimes this indicates a "white label" software product sold for rebranded use by other publishers. AceGain sold such a product about ten years ago but mainly for game publishers. No current "white label" source was found. ASUS, a laptop manufacturer, uses the name for its software to locate and install driver, BIOS, and network card updates.

As soon as an update is made available, AceGain manages the alert, download and installation as well as version control and user network preferences." "Bouncer RunStartup" definitely not required.

It is distributed by the same bundling and drive-by download techniques as the parasites it claims to remove, so definitely qualifies as unsolicited commercial software in itself. It also has an update feature that can download and execute arbitrary code. Warning - choose "custom" uninstall as "automatic" may remove other programs "LiveUpdate" can run at start up.

After it gathers the information it converts it and sends it to 'C://Windows/Prefetch' foldier. When the data is converted and compressed it is being sent to 'C://Windows/Prefetch/ReadyBoost' foldier which is awaiting to be sent to the creator of the spyware.   Nota Bene   part of IObit advanced system care   marc   Installed with Telekom Internet Manager, just another name for Huawei-Software.

Especially 3rd party software.   Alpha   (further information) Couldn't remove over default windows uninstallation. After getting multiple other types of adware and seeing that the Program Updater is still in the running tasks, I figured out that it is set as a Windows serviice and still installed under C:\Program files\IObit. First I deactivated the Windows Service (called LiveUpdate), then deleted the whole IObit folder.   rump   The chinese like to install and connect + host things with your computer you dont know about. This is the case with this program. Constantly connects to internet, even when you dont want it to. I downloaded it with Autodesk and ever since then its been running.

Best practices for resolving LiveUpdate issues

A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with LiveUpdate. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.

Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
