rimbb launch agent

Question

What is this for and why can I not disable it in start up through Windows Defender

Answer 1

Most likely for your Blackberry (Research In Motion BlackBerry launch agent).  It loads at the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run registry key (RIMDeviceManager).  You can delete the RIMDeviceManager value if you no longer want it to start when the computer boots.  CodeStuff Starter can help you find and disable some of the programs that start automatically when you boot your computer.

It looks like you forgot the rest of your copy and paste from www.speedutilies.com:

But if you're reading internet resources, you can always help yourself. The very important factor improving system performance is fine tuning up of your registry. Please use registry cleaners, they always help.

I fixed their many typos for you.

If you are simply going to copy and paste something from another WWW site, you might as well get it all, huh?

Hi CatherineThomas,

·         Why do you want to disable rimbb launch agent?

·         What exactly happens when you try to disable through Windows Defender?

·         Do you receive any error message or error code?

·         Have you made any changes on the computer prior to the issue?

Most Windows processes, including RIMBBLaunchAgent.exe, have typical problematic issues related to its performance. You should be always on guard. The reason is that little troubles can indicate some deeper troubles. Those include malware or trojan attack, or operating system malfunction. It is always good idea to consult those issues with a trained computer professional.

**Method 1:**To narrow down on the issue, I would suggest you to perform clean boot and check.

**Method 2:**I would also suggest you to scan your computer with Microsoft Safety Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.

The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software.

**Important:**While performing scanning on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost.
