from Pearson VUE
Overview
NBPTS Tutorial and Demo is a software program developed by Pearson VUE. The most common release is 2.3.906.318, 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.

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. It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. The setup package generally installs about 100 files and is usually about 615 KB (629,760 bytes).
