'True Key' Worries

[PEV]

Hi everyone.

Just booted up my Desk top PC (windows 8.1) to find message on my desk top 'True Key' has been installed!

Worried might be a virus etc I googled 'true key' to learn it is an intel programme and has got some uncomplimentary comments! Such as is clumsy and slows down your PC.

I am annoyed that this programme has been able to install on my PC without my permission!

Anyway I have managed to uninstall it but would like anyone's advice?comments on this.

Also a bit worrying is at least one person (Windows 10 user) on the Google forum has experienced True Key keeps re installing Hope this is not so in my case but I will know next time I restart my PC.

Your thoughts please.

Thanks

Ray

Hi Ray,

 

"True Key" is a "legitimate" piece of software from Intel Security.

It was probably piggy-backed onto something else that you installed.

 

It is a password manager and the free version allows up to 15 passwords to be stored.

After that - you have to pay.

 

If you have uninstalled it - that should be the last you see of it. :)

Thanks for clearing that up Ken.

It was a bit of a shock to see just sitting there on my desk top!!

This is why I state..... Unclick the optional offer of installing McAfee Security Scan and True Key™ by Intel Security before clicking Install now.
