TOSHIBA HDD/SSD-waarschuwing

What is TOSHIBA HDD/SSD-waarschuwing?

Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert allows you to carefully monitor the status your disks are having as well as create backup copies to prevent all your data get lost if your hardware gets broken. TOSHIBA HDD/SSD Alert supervises the Disk Drive operating status status and warns the user if a hardware failure is expected to happen.

Overview

The most common release is 3.1.64.6, 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. 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 setup package generally installs about 13 files and is usually about 37.8 MB (39,631,446 bytes).
