When it first appears, it doesn't ask for money. The next day it wanted to be paid for service policy. Fred
Do not allow this to run if you don't want a perpetual nag screen after the trial runs out. And also if you let any purchased license lapse. Contacting CS just gets the reply (paraphrased) "You want to remove the nag screen? Pay us!" Uninstall AUP immediately... Drake F.
Extremely annoying and so far impossible to remove. I got rid of the parent programme (advanced uninstaller PRO) by manually eliminating registry entries. It does not show up in programs and features Charles Frizell
Annoying and it pops up during gaming and minimizes the game browser... Quinton B

Best practices for resolving healthcheck issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with healthcheck. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.
To help you analyze the healthcheck.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. A good Bantivirus software detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.
