Perplexer Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 I am constantly getting the "New version found" popup window from Maxthon which I can't figure out how to stop (using Windows 7 64-bit). I believe it is from Maxthon 5 which is currently installed on my PC, although I only have it for compatibility purposes and not regular use. I use Maxthon 6 for which I have the portable version, placed in the d:\Programi\Internet\MaxthonPortable\ folder. The popup window process is: C:\Users\Perplexer\AppData\Roaming\Maxthon5\Public\MxUp\MxUp.exe I close it on the "X" but it comes back several minutes later. I cannot figure out where is it launched/triggered from. I don't see anything in the Task Scheduler. I do see a service called "MxService" in the Services list which is likely also from Maxthon 5: Path to executable: "D:\Programi\Internet\Maxthon\Bin\Maxthon.exe" I have deleted it twice already, but it keeps coming back! C:\Windows\System32>sc delete MxService [SC] DeleteService SUCCESS I'm not sure if this service is related to the update popup but if it isn't, it's another thing I'd like to solve (how/why is it re-installing itself?). I'd be grateful for any tips on how to solve these two issue. Tip Give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
