¬ just serendipity 🍀 (not just serendipity)

From ‘Technical Support’ tales of the trenches.

Whenever CorelDRAW is installed on Windows, by default it will display ads upon startup, every single day. I call this malware.

To disable this hostile behavior:

• Open Task Scheduler (‘Agendador de Tarefas’)
• Look at the task library (‘biblioteca do agendador de tarefas’)
• Deactivate or delete the entries named CorelUpdateHelperTaskCore*

Enjoy peace.
