Remove Start Menu Reviver

Start Menu Reviver is a software program developed by ReviverSoft. The most common release is 2.5.0.18, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. It adds registry entry for the current user which will allow the program to automatically start each time it is rebooted. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. 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. 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 primary executable is named startmenureviver.exe. The setup package generally installs about 28 files and is usually about 13.11 MB (13,750,697 bytes). The installed file sm_update.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. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 37% of users of Start Menu Reviver come from Germany, it is also popular in the United States and MA.
