  • THREATrating from user SimiKev for file %COMMONFILES%\COREL\STANDBY\STANDBY.EXE (Variant: 7523)

    I removed "Common Files\Corel\Standby\Standby.exe" and rebooted -- quiet-time disk utilization went down by 90% and CPU went from steady 20%+ (on a quad-core nevertheless) to near 0%!!! This junk process wants to touch every file on the disk and seems also triggers antimalware/antivirus to check what it's up to! May not be a threat, but is certainly a performance killer. No need to remove Corel app if you need/want it, just delete or rename Standby.exe.

    It reads from the disk constantly. In fact it increases it''s activity as you write to disk. Almost as if there is a file watcher running. Definitely degrades write performance because of the constant interruptions to read.
