Every once in a while I get a message requesting me to run MASetupCleaner.exe.  Why?

    I installed Kies last night to attempt backing up all my phone data, so I could do a much needed hard reset on my Galaxy 3 in hopes of resolving some major issues with battery life/calibration. Has to top the list for worst software ever. I received the MAsetupCleaner.exe request earlier this morning when I started up my laptop...

    Any updates on this latest mess created by the Samsung Kies software?...

    It happened to me the same, after de-installation of kies did get this message.

    Any updates??

    "I am suspicious of the Samsung KEIS software.  It does not behave very well.  It takes several attempts to connect successfully and If I leave my phone connected for several hours I get a screen asking me to ACTIVATE Windows.  I have seen this mentioned by others."

    You are right about that...KEIS is just about the buggiest software that I have ever had to work with.  I need it to sync my contacts and calendar, but the reliability is awful.

    Like everyone else after uninstalling Kies, MASetup Cleaner kept appearing on start up. Taking your advice I downloaded and ran Ccleaner. Problem solved. Still have Kies3 installed(for now) which Kies said was needed for my Galaxy Tab Pro. Don't understand why the old version wasn't automatically uninstalled when Kies3 was installed. No wonder Samsung is slowly losing sales when their customers are forced to put up with **** like this.

    Hi

    To Muhammed: I tried both your fine suggestion, but the MASetupCleaner.exe is not present in either regedit or msconfig. Any suggestions?

    These steps don't work because the exe file is hidden somewhere.  In addition, the reg key is also hidden. It's not listed as a startup program either.
