"I disagree. I think you should get Windows 10 now"

I agree with Nekked Runner .

Not a good response as I too had the same basic question;

I have a fresh install of WIn7 and running Comodo CIS Anti-Virus that detected this application.
My question too was what does CompatTelRunner do?
My concern is if this is an absolutlety necessary thing or can I shut it down or worse is an infected file?
After repeated questioning it was finally admitted that it is a program that while desireable for those interested in upgrading would not be needed by some people as myself.
From what I gather reading between lines of the respondant is that it is neither necessary nor will there be any negative impact to me by not allowing to to run except that maybe my computer and OS run better without it using resources.

So my solution was to tell Comodo CIS to just block and terminate this application every time it attempts to run.

I did not have time yet to go though checking the services running to see if it can just be disabled there or if I need to search the registry manually but before going that far I think I may let Revo Unistaller have a go at it.

Hope this helps you

Thank you for identifying the updates to kill/uninstall/block/hide/disintegrate to stop Windows 10 nonsense (nags, invading systems, narc-ing) to Microsoft, etc.. for those of us who have made an educated CHOICE not to install it. Too many companies want to treat us like dumb sheep, following whoever, wherever they lead. Keep your eyes and your minds open folks! Its just going to get worse...

Well said. I have this issue on a computer that will never be upgraded to Win 10. This one will always run Win 7 with the photography apps for scanning, etc remaining the same forever. Just like another system I keep running XP for specific 32-bit driver compatibility for various devices that are attached to that one. After 30+ years working in the IT field managing practically every OS used I would have to shout that only a fool would blindly recommend a new OS to everyone without specifically knowing the usage of the computer. The security issues with cloud access in 10 alone are enough to require careful analysis of whether the OS is right for anyone. When and if I want to have Win 10 I will buy a new system specifically for it. Until then folks may want uninstall and hide a few windows updates (KB2977759, KB2952664, KB3068708, KB3022345, KB3075249 & KB3080149) as recommended on the numerous posts around the web for this subject.(Emphasis added 3-3-2016)
