    MSI motherboard utility pop-ups - annoying

    Hiya.

    When I built my new 4670K PC from Scan I loaded a number of the MSI motherboard bundled utilities.

    Two are annoying me on startup.

    MSI Fastboot seemed like a good idea, so I loaded it. It starts fine, but gives me an annoying/pointless popup asking me if I want to turn it on or off on login - which eventually disappears if I ignore it.

    The main annoyance is the MSI Live update 5 which pops up a MS User Control panel on every log in.

    Obviously I can turn off MS user control, but this is probably not the safest thing to do.

    Any help appreciated.

    EDIT: Dang it, should have posted this in the Software section - not the Windows subfolder. How do I move it??

    Bloatware.

    The software does little other than annoy the user. Just remove - the only impact you see will be positive.
