User Reviews of the "standby.exe"

  • 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.

    cheap website trying to compile info from free opinions.

    As Joe mentioned a thread must not be necessarily a virus or a malware sometimes useless services from even more useless software can be an equal threat degrading your system performance. i got this with corel digital studio a software which i removed in about 1h of use because is resource consuming and has really no utility whatsoever.

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

    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.
