Is powerreg scheduler v3 exe

You got it from somewhere else, most likely from the Internet, and yeah, it's highly likely that it's contagious and as such is either a trojan or some other form of virus or spyware. You'd better remove it if you didn't install it yourself it's often a good idea in general - as long as you didn't install it yourself, you usually don't want it, though there are exceptions of course.

As far as ToEE goes, it definitely has nothing to do with ToEE or any of our mod packs at least not with the official game installation - not sure about any pirated crap floating around, maybe it actually has this PowerReg thing as a "free bonus", in which case it's almost certain that it's a virus. The bottom line is -- even though Windows Defender is not the best spyware detection software around quite far from it actually , if I were you, I'd try removing that PowerReg Scheduler because it's likely to be something you don't want and definitely not something the game would need.

Agetian , Aug 25, I followed an info link on the exe from within Windows Defender and it took me to a Microsoft page with this info: PowerRegScheduler is a product registration system used by some legitimate software programs. It collects demographic data for vendors who use PowerRegScheduler as a product registration reminder. PowerRegScheduler collects data such as your name, address, e-mail, place of purchase, product serial number, etc.

This data is transmitted to PowerRegScheduler servers and is then made available to the manufacturer of the purchased product. It sounds like something "normal", but probably something that someone could easily use for their own devious purposes. Well yeah, while the definition has the word 'legitimate' in it, you never know what exactly it sends and where it sends it. Also, it's an application that can potentially be exploited by others even if it is used in a legitimate way initially.

I think it should be safe to remove it anyway. EDIT: Btw, usually when such a program is installed legitimately, you get to agree with its installation as in, for instance, you install some program, and you get this popup that says "Please take your time and register our software with PowerReg! If it was installed in a hidden way without you even knowing about it, and in case it runs some sort of a scheduler of your system - that looks quite weird. Joined 7 Sep Messages 8.

Just noticed that in my start ups there is a program called "PowerReg Scheduler V3. I disabled it from starting up I think it enables itself after start up though. Simply, What is it? Where did it come from? What does it do? I have searched the web for it and found nothing concrete.

Also went to Symantec and they did not seem to have any info. Thanks in advance. Joined 6 Dec Messages 3, Follow these steps to remove PowerReg Scheduler from your machine.
