CyberLink PhotoDirector Suite 6

Overview

CyberLink PhotoDirector Suite 6 is a program developed by CyberLink. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. 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 software installer includes 322 files and is usually about 783 KB (801,792 bytes). CLUpdater.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released. In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 10 as well as Windows 7 (SP1). While about 38% of users of CyberLink PhotoDirector Suite 6 come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and Spain.
