The installed file SplkUpdate.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 83% of users of Cisco Agent Desktop come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Italy.
