Rating Opinion From RealNetworks RealPlayer Alex Used for updates probably, part of the Real Player- a media program Nat real player update file, runs everytime you start up It is Real's Pop Up Generator Pop Up = Pest like a fly Nocturnal John Starts everytime you boot through a registry key which if removed will come back again ! HaNi Monitors RealPlayer activity. Generates pop-ups, not RealPlayer related though. XGS You download/buy real player :- you get Realsched.exe. It's part of the program. It's in the Task Manager Because it's doing something!  link for more info David Whatley nothing wrong with it, super safe, doctor just for updating realplayer (super veilig)  link for more info doctor spyware - passes personal info about. Thanks Real! Tries to insert itself, in RUN section of registry. Runs with realvideo/realaudio, but not required, just an auto-updater. Nagware. Mike It is an automatic update utility for Real Player. You can remove first by disabling the auto-update feature in your Tools- Preferences- Automatic Services- AutoUpdate (In RealPlayer). Then search through your registry for 2 locations of "realsched" (Type "regedit" after clicking on run in your Start Menu): The first will be a "(Default)" key, modify the key and erase the path; the second will be in the 'HKLM- Software- Microsoft- Windows- Current Version- SharedDlls' folder. Modify this key to "0". And lastly, open you "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\" delete "realsced.exe" On my athlon 2400+, caused 100% cpu usage just for that process when it was running radchilies There doesn't seem to be a way to prevent RP from launching it on computer startup. :( Sulan real player auto update program erkan using 99% of CPU and slowing system to a crawl It's just an updater for Realplauer, it does no harm Anthony Has caused errors when it runs during a windows update. Gedda uses too much cpu i do not run Real, and it has appeared in my processes yesterday. i dont view movies or streaming with Real. Its not using CPU and minimal MEM, but it should not be there. Karl Causes 100% CPU usage. Annoying- cause my drive to only defragment to 50% after running all afternoon and night long Armandine keiner weiss, so richtig, was der RealPlayer,alles so "geheim" sendet.,wie jeder andere player auch. tomJ. Sauerei von RealNetworks. Mein Computer hat nicht das ewige Update zum Ziel!!

Dave It causes 100% cpu usage on my computer. Slowed the system to a crawl. Kill it. Potrod using up 100% of cpu brenda Can use up a lot of memory and bandwith. Unnecessary - just check real.com regularly! Sallyann Realplayer uses this file to copy info and save it for when you are online, then it sends it to real. It copies info like the movies you view to how many drives you have connected and much more. real claims not to use the info in a bad way, but it is spying on you. You agree to it when you accept real player install agreement. Don Unstable, badly written malware. Get rid! GR33DY I shut it down with justshed and lvcoms everytime I login vocatude just stop message center checking and auto update, do not need to edit registry Guil Comes from realplayer and uses up my CPU usage Garrett I don't want any extra programs to run on the background, especially not when it's using almost all my CPU-power, while doing nothing. I'm going to try and find and delete everything in my registery on realsched, and disable it unsing msconfig. Then i'm going to delete it, and when it's running again after my next boot, i'm going to use another player wich does NOT let programs run hidden on your pc. It's just simply annoying. Ceristimo Real Player Scheduler... Kill process then delete the entry from the registry! Farah Harmlos, aber ein frecher Dienst von den Machern des kostenlosen RealPlayer Jochen uninstalled real player to make it go away. was taking 100%cpu mike Another very good reason not to use annoying Real Media / Player Oz It's nagware. To turn off, open real player, go to Tools- Preferences- Automatic Services- AutoUpdate and click off "Automatically download and install important updates" TP It's a major pain in the CPU! Mel I managed to get it to not load on boot using msconfig but couldn't find it in the services list. Took very little cpu usage on Athlon xp2000 and Winxp If it's eating your cpu, then its most likely not the real realsched.exe that is showing up in your task list. A lot of spyware files are named "realsched.exe" to try and trick you into thinking that it's part of realplayer. Rob As others have started, it's also taking 98% CPU on my Dell w/XP Kevin Dibb kann mit tools wie simon xp-tuner 2004 deaktiviert werden (absolute empfehlung) spotting bin it , nothing but trouble and resource hog SloPoke real player , annoying update Shows 100% usage - if multiple users logged on it will spread across all users to dominate the clock usage. freedomcs Real Audio autoupdater. HP and Compaq owners from 2001-2003 may have it bundled. DiamonDt Not needed. Not helpful.

Helium eats CPU like cake, uses 95-100% Mac OSX User Thrashed my CPU, made system nonresponsive. Kryztoph a nuisance at best and a backdoor at worst Realplayer 00 % cpu 189 kb speicher StarFleet I run older machines (P2s & P3s) and I notice that while it's not a trojan it is a resource hog. I like realplayer to the point of having it as the only media player on my computer, but realsched.exe has to go. I can update it myself w/o having a program do it for me.  link for more info Radzero It's not really dangerous it's just junk that you don't need.
