Overview
X3Watch PRO is a software program developed by McAfee. The most common release is 2.2.105.1, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named x3watchpro.exe. The setup package generally installs about 9 files and is usually about 61.43 MB (64,412,230 bytes).
