Kerio Control VPN Client

Overview

Kerio Control VPN Client is a software program developed by Kerio Technologies. The most common release is 8.5.3127, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC.

Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 92 files and is usually about 18.82 MB (19,729,627 bytes). The installed file ktupdaterservice.exe 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 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 32% of users of Kerio Control VPN Client come from the United States, it is also popular in Iran and Czech Republic.
