"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

Greetings from the Great Country of TEXAS,

You can go to GRC dot COM's web site and get the FREE "NEVER10" running it will STOP the GWX. I have done this along with some of my own 'hacks'. You may also use his "SHIELDS_UP" to test your security. How visible am I to the internet? This question will be answered and help you to make your system non-visible.

Good Luck!

Greetings from the GreatCountry of TEXAS,

You are rather fortunate to have your "WIFE" still with you, cherish that, do not allow it to get away. Lost mine in 2012 after 48.5 wonderful years. Now have to deal with the largest pain in the a$$, ME! When she departed I dropped the TV side of cable and kept the Internet. Completely agree with you on the ADs, like they are not making enough off their products they feel they need to hound us into eternity.

Do not brag too much on here, but; have been rather fortunate to have some of the VERT BEST protection and mostly FREE, have some that are paid but 'life-time' updates are FREE. Also agree with the Fix Or Repair Daily, never have owned nor driven one. Keep up the good work...

If that is so, can you explain to me why we need a TELEMETRY program on our systems for compatIbility?

My understanding of TELEMETRY is to send data not receive... Besides WE make our own decisions on what we should get and what is NOT good for us. Microsoft is the one that needs to use TELEMETRY when necessary.

OR am I just confused on that?
