Overview
Symantec DLO Desktop Agent is a software program developed by Symantec. The most common release is 7.0.0.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

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 setup package generally installs about 32 files and is usually about 40.94 MB (42,933,920 bytes). The installed file LUGetUpdates.dll 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 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 44% of users of Symantec DLO Desktop Agent come from the United States, it is also popular in India and France.
