Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater

What is Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater?

Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater is the updater program which runs with Windows (in the background as a service) and automatically starts up when your computer boots. It checks for updates and automatically downloads and installs them if found based on the user's settings.

Overview

The most used version is 02.07.004.45780, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. 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 main program executable is nsu3ui_agent.exe. The software installer includes 198 files and is usually about 596 KB (610,304 bytes).
