Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.472) Terry, East Grinstead, UK Deep Security Agent ??? https://success.trendmicro.com/solut...rity-agent-dsa The filename is too long, to make it a Windows thing. Try doing properties on it and see if it has a product name. Paul |

"The files in the C:\Program files (x86)\Intel Driver and Support Assistant folder include one called DSA Service.exe and out of curiosity I clicked" I wonder if that's even needed. Is that one of those things you install and immediately uninstall after it's finished doing an update ? I'm not a big fan of some of the things Intel as done, because of the "baggage" some of them include. Paul |
