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

    Thanks, HenningKlemme. I did not know about AirDroid. I have now read about it and will try it.

    Received a request to run MASetCleaner.exe the first time today. SAMSUNG Kies was installed on Dec 6, 2012 (ca 3 weeks ago), and uninstalled a minute ago... Because initial setup was not done by me, I assume that the same request message have come earlier too and had been accepted then.

    However, uninstallation related mainly to other problem solving case : have any of you experienced changes in Windows hibernation function after installing Kies ? I noticed that my Vista doesn't stay hibernated any more, instead Windows resumes immediately after hibernation mode has been reached (so basically it's working like an immediate restart). I launch hibernation from PCI DigitalTV software in order to record TV programs and do not want to keep computer on all the time.

    Next I will make sure that Vista's hibernation is enabled and test the function again.

    Another good idea gone awry-I downloaded Kies yesterday for my new Galaxy note 2 on my win7 and every time I started up my computer, I had pc issues-no firewall, etc. So I open my McAfee which says IT IS running and all is well, but I still ran a scan anyway because it kept showing up as a pc alert.  Kies couldn't recognize my Note 2, kept calling it an unidentified iphone, wouldn't sync, and this morning I had same issues.  I also had a message that McAfee wanted to block GoogleChrome.  I checked in McAfee and it is an allowed program. So I decided to uninstall Kies, reboot, and I got same as above, MAsetupCleaner.exe wants to make changes. What a mess-I'm bummed!  :(

    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?...
