Remove Orion by Convesoft

This is pre installed bundleware with a number of Acer laptop models.

Orion is a software program developed by Convesoft. The most common release is 2.0.1, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up. 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 software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named _3A7580B7A2383DA8AA203A.exe. The setup package generally installs about 18 files and is usually about 1.16 MB (1,220,096 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows Vista (SP2) and Windows Vista (SP1). While about 32% of users of Orion come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Germany.
