LanSafe
from Eaton Corporation
Overview
LanSafe is a software program developed by Eaton. The most common release is 6.0.6, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. 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 28 files. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows XP. While about 35% of users of LanSafe come from Australia, it is also popular in the United States and Finland.
