OptimizerPro Updater
What is OptimizerPro Updater?
OptimizerPro is the update program which runs on the PC and checks for updates and automatically downloads and installs them if found. The program is primarily designed to keep the software up to date or provide product upgrades. In addition to releasing new versions of the software at regular intervals, the update program can provide additional information to the user or to the remote server. If it finds an item to download, it will download and install the new update.
Overview
During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). 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 primary executable is named OptimizerPro.exe. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 6 files and is usually about 530.27 KB (542,993 bytes). The installed file ix_updater.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.
