Nero ControlCenter
What is Nero ControlCenter?
Nero ControlCenter is installed along with the Nero Suite. Nero ControlCenter allows you to determine whether new updates for your Nero Suite are available. These can then be downloaded and run. Also, you can select a language or languages to add to your installation. In addition, you have the option of modifying the existing installation of Nero, retrieving information about serial numbers, and deleting or adding serial numbers. The default setting in Nero ControlCenter for automatically checking whether updates are available is every 30 days.
Overview
The most used version is 9.0.0.1, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The main program executable is ncc.exe. The software installer includes 24 files.
Nero ControlCenter has been found to be bundled with 3rd party software. If you have not purposefully installed this, you should be safe uninstalling it.
