Samsung Update Plus
What is Samsung Update Plus?
Samsung Update Plus is the software update program that runs with Windows in the background and checks for updates, and automatically downloads and installs them if found based on the user's settings. The program can be configured by the user for maintaining a schedule for when to check the remote server for periodic software updates. If it finds an item to download, it will download and install the new update.
About (from Samsung Electronics)
Samsung Update Plus searches for and checks the drivers and software provided by your Samsung computer and allows you to update them if there are updates available.
Overview
The most common release is 1.3.0.11, 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. 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. 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 SPICRegister.exe. The setup package generally installs about 26 files and is usually about 15.44 MB (16,194,852 bytes).
