Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 23 files and is usually about 88.33 MB (92,625,416 bytes). The installed file dvconfigupdate.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.
