 Alex | RealNetworks RealPlayer |
 Nat | Used for updates probably, part of the Real Player- a media program |
 | real player update file, runs everytime you start up |
| Nocturnal John | It is Real's Pop Up Generator Pop Up = Pest like a fly |
| HaNi | Starts everytime you boot through a registry key which if removed will come back again ! |
 XGS | Monitors RealPlayer activity. Generates pop-ups, not RealPlayer related though. |
| David Whatley | You download/buy real player :- you get Realsched.exe. It's part of the program. It's in the Task Manager Because it's doing something! Siehe auch: Link |
| doctor | nothing wrong with it, super safe, |
| doctor | just for updating realplayer (super veilig) Siehe auch: Link |
 | spyware - passes personal info about. Thanks Real! |
| Mike | Tries to insert itself, in RUN section of registry. Runs with realvideo/realaudio, but not required, just an auto-updater. Nagware. |
| | It is an automatic update utility for Real Player. You can remove first by disabling the auto-update feature in your Tools- Preferences- Automatic Services- AutoUpdate (In RealPlayer). Then search through your registry for 2 locations of "realsched" (Type "regedit" after clicking on run in your Start Menu): The first will be a "(Default)" key, modify the key and erase the path; the second will be in the 'HKLM- Software- Microsoft- Windows- Current Version- SharedDlls' folder. Modify this key to "0". And lastly, open you "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\" delete "realsced.exe" |
| radchilies | On my athlon 2400+, caused 100% cpu usage just for that process when it was running |
| Sulan | There doesn't seem to be a way to prevent RP from launching it on computer startup. :( |
| erkan | real player auto update program |
| | using 99% of CPU and slowing system to a crawl |
| Anthony | It's just an updater for Realplauer, it does no harm |
| Gedda | Has caused errors when it runs during a windows update. |
| | uses too much cpu |
| Karl | i do not run Real, and it has appeared in my processes yesterday. i dont view movies or streaming with Real. Its not using CPU and minimal MEM, but it should not be there. |
| Armandine | Causes 100% CPU usage. Annoying- cause my drive to only defragment to 50% after running all afternoon and night long |
| tomJ. | keiner weiss, so richtig, was der RealPlayer,alles so "geheim" sendet.,wie jeder andere player auch. |
| Permanent Updater | Sauerei von RealNetworks. Mein Computer hat nicht das ewige Update zum Ziel!! |
| | the one process takes up nearly all of the cpu, and slows usage 2 much |
| catman | it will not allow certain programs to open and run while its running |
| Bryce | Caused windows updates to be very slow and used 99% CPU |
| Ninpolearner | It uses up my processor resources |
| ??? | use 100% CPU when run on win2000 |
 Jon | using 98% of my cpu on win98 |
| Dave | Turn off the Message Center checking and Auto update will stop it. |
| Potrod | It causes 100% cpu usage on my computer. Slowed the system to a crawl. Kill it. |
| brenda | using up 100% of cpu |
| Sallyann | Can use up a lot of memory and bandwith. Unnecessary - just check real.com regularly! |
| Don | Realplayer uses this file to copy info and save it for when you are online, then it sends it to real. It copies info like the movies you view to how many drives you have connected and much more. real claims not to use the info in a bad way, but it is spying on you. You agree to it when you accept real player install agreement. |
| GR33DY | Unstable, badly written malware. Get rid! |
| vocatude | I shut it down with justshed and lvcoms everytime I login |
| Guil | just stop message center checking and auto update, do not need to edit registry |
| Garrett | Comes from realplayer and uses up my CPU usage |
| Ceristimo | I don't want any extra programs to run on the background, especially not when it's using almost all my CPU-power, while doing nothing. I'm going to try and find and delete everything in my registery on realsched, and disable it unsing msconfig. Then i'm going to delete it, and when it's running again after my next boot, i'm going to use another player wich does NOT let programs run hidden on your pc. It's just simply annoying. |
| Farah | Real Player Scheduler... Kill process then delete the entry from the registry! |
| Jochen | Harmlos, aber ein frecher Dienst von den Machern des kostenlosen RealPlayer |
| mike | uninstalled real player to make it go away. was taking 100%cpu |
| Oz | Another very good reason not to use annoying Real Media / Player |
| TP | It's nagware. To turn off, open real player, go to Tools- Preferences- Automatic Services- AutoUpdate and click off "Automatically download and install important updates" |
| Mel | It's a major pain in the CPU! |
| | I managed to get it to not load on boot using msconfig but couldn't find it in the services list. Took very little cpu usage on Athlon xp2000 and Winxp |
| Rob | If it's eating your cpu, then its most likely not the real realsched.exe that is showing up in your task list. A lot of spyware files are named "realsched.exe" to try and trick you into thinking that it's part of realplayer. |
| Kevin Dibb | As others have started, it's also taking 98% CPU on my Dell w/XP |
| spotting | kann mit tools wie simon xp-tuner 2004 deaktiviert werden (absolute empfehlung) |
| SloPoke | bin it , nothing but trouble and resource hog |
| | real player , annoying update |
| freedomcs | Shows 100% usage - if multiple users logged on it will spread across all users to dominate the clock usage. |
| DiamonDt | Real Audio autoupdater. HP and Compaq owners from 2001-2003 may have it bundled. |
| BruceK | Not needed. Not helpful. |
| jones | has to do with real player |
| Craig | Note: Turning off the Message Center also disables realsched.exe, the RealPlayer automatic update utility. To disable the Message Center: 1. Open RealPlayer, and click the Tools menu (upper-right corner of the player). 2. Choose Preferences. The Preferences box opens. 3. In the Category pane under under Automatic Services, click b Message Center. 4. Click the Configure Message Center button. 5. Uncheck ALL items in the window that appears. 6. Click OK twice to save your changes, and close any other windows. 7. For best results, close RealPlayer and restart your computer. |
| Norman | using cpu at startup |
| Henrik | uses 100% of my CPU (XP, 866-Pentium3). |
| Drbb | Sends information to Real; loads at launch even when disabled |
| dcmccunn | It prevents the Autoplay camera wizard from running on RealPlayer V10 |
| paul | this realplayer updater continually wastes cpu cycles, ok to remove it from the registry startup run list |
| PhantomSteve | The RealPlayer updater... just go to Tools-- Preferences-- Automatic Services-- AutoUpdate and turn it off! |
| Helium | It definitely uses too much CPU. I uninstalled Real One Player since it proved to be such a pain. |
| Mac OSX User | eats CPU like cake, uses 95-100% |
| Kryztoph | Thrashed my CPU, made system nonresponsive. |
| | a nuisance at best and a backdoor at worst |
| StarFleet | Realplayer 00 % cpu 189 kb speicher |
| Radzero | I run older machines (P2s & P3s) and I notice that while it's not a trojan it is a resource hog. I like realplayer to the point of having it as the only media player on my computer, but realsched.exe has to go. I can update it myself w/o having a program do it for me. Siehe auch: Link |
| camo | It's not really dangerous it's just junk that you don't need. Realplayer sucks and if you use RealAlternative it's much better. |
| Amui | i think it´s not good and i take it away! |
| scott808 | disable it using spybots teatimer!! "its reals manual update scheduler" |
| Gecco | Runs even after RealPlayer is shut down. |
| NH | Im uninstalling, I recomend finding a rm player that has no net/spyware feature |
| | Real player's apocalypse plug-in. Delete it or your comp will blow up! |
| Abhishek | This file is using miximum available processor speed. Dangerous one |
| Spencer | It is very dangerous and an immediate risk because it makes you pick up your PC and throw it out the window |
| Jrg | Uses 99% of my CPU - poorly designed |
| Yaniv | It's Killing the CPU while on Get Rid of it A S A P ! |
| Jose | I know if I did not install it to run in that nature then I dont want it using my CPU time.Thanks for tip Craig. |
| hueygunner | I know very little about realsched.exe. RealPlayer starts up on its own accord and I don't want it to get ahead of other programs during startup. If I want the program to play, I'll double-click it. It's an annoyance! |
| Larry | Real Player 10 default settings will disable Autoplay. For example, if you plug in your camera via your USB, you will not be able to access the autoplay wizard. Turn off the message center and auto updates in Real Player 10 ! Siehe auch: Link |
| Philteach | This file is a damn nuisance. Gobbled up 100% CPU usage. We have limited access rights to tamper with our networ and had to call in the technicians to get rid of it from the startup menu. Real player??? I think not |
| DevNull | It's an unnecessary nuisance file installed as part of RealPlayer. As others have already noted, it's fairly easy to get rid of it. Siehe auch: Link |
| -silas- | Warscheinlich das Updadeprogramm vom Realplayer |
| kishore | this is not getting deleted...dangerous only Siehe auch: Link |
| hellie | it sucks like eveyething does with real |
| Tomek | i'ts like virus?then it is virus |
| Spoiled0503 | Installed with Real One Player |
| Elijah | Update file- safe |
| Jo Mamma | Realplayer update utility. Bloatwarez program that hogs system memory & may dominate CPU usage. Can disable this through the System Configuration Utility - "msconfig.exe" on windows XP systems or through Realplayer's preferences or through the registry. |
| Devik | It's a virus. (Gaobot). Run antivirus software, hides in C:/, AKA:W32.HLLW.Gaobot, hvlsvc32.exe, bcvsrv32.exe, arun.exe, realsched.exe. I found it in the C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\DOCUMENTS\ |
| HC | Mine is the true Realplayer scheduler. I didn't check CPU usage but my Athlon 2600 Win 2000 machine freezes at random with it running. I uninstalled it. |
| Matt | This thing is running 99 on cpu usage.....guess i'll delete it since everyone said to...hope it stops my pc's slowness. |
| Matt | Yet another 100% cpu customer. This damn thing eats all available cpu. By By Real i will never use your Player again. |
| | RealPlayer is evil |
| Someone | Spyware. |
| Peruvian | nothing, except my computer was useless for 4 days till I figured it out. Real Player is gone...don't know the last time I used it anyway. |
| Jack | uses 98% of cpu I just went to task manager and ended process |
| Nerd | If it's got to sneak in it can't be good. Random access to the network, what's it sending? |
| Matthias | not necessary - you can turn it off somwhere deep in realplayer's settings (otherwise it will reinsert itself into autostart registry entries). It might send usage statistics to real. |
| jon | keep my cpu running all the time |
| Donna | It consumes CPU |
| martin | ist wirklich harmlos |
| dvorack | I don't like unnecessary process running, it's a Real updater, just rename the folder or deleted, it wont start up, but some stuff will not load either, that why i rename it |
| emi | to craig- thank you very much for the instructions on how to end the update, it is rather annoying |
| Johan | I just dubble klicked at the top right pixel at my screen. Then the CPU-meter kicked in top and it was realsched.exe that caused it. i need answers! |
| Bubba | lol it just scans real network for updates no virus, spyware, trojan |
| BW | My Camera autoplay stopped working. Read this webpage. Uninstalled RealPlayer V10 and now no more problems. I will never use this product again! |
| tom | and another 100% cpu damn thing screwin everything up! matt ur right EVIL!!!! |
| Steve | cpu hog... lags internet connection |
| Daniel | It uses far too much CPU time when it should be sleeping. |
| Christoph | 97% System usage... |
| | ich habe nicht mal eine Real Player installiert, und troztem hab ich die Datei |
| shane | using 99% of cpu for seemingly no reason |
| pboom | realsched.exe is a program which schedules for manual update checks for Real Networks products. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference however disabling may prevent notification of updates. |
| | thanks realplayer another reason not to use realplayer |
| Spyware destroyer | ITs for updating Realplayer. When people say that thier CPU usage went up to 100% it was because it was updating, this programme wouldn't be the cause of continus maximum computer usage over a period of time. |
| Evil | You can be disable it under "Tools- Preferences- Automatic Services"; just disable anything, especially under "Configure Message Center". The executable is at "%CommonProgramFiles%\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" and may be deleted, I get no errors. If you find realsched.exe anywhere else it may be a virus. |
| kk | uses too much cpu and slows system to a crawl |
| kk | sheesh if you dont like it just uncheck some boxes under preferences. Craig's instructions got rid of it for me. |
| -BP- | It's as everyone is saying a CPU buster. Unistalling now - and looking for an alternative to play these files |
| Arnid | it's a realOne file. My system turned off so i have kill it in the msconfig , now my system boot normally. |
| Kisara | From RealNetworks. Personally don't like them. It virtually takes over your system. But hey, if you want it, it's your funeral. Siehe auch: Link |
| guy with lotz of STM programs =.= | this file isn't spyware, and the reason some spyware programs might think it is, it is because it sends the info YOU provided it when you first started it... it also checks for updates.... that and nothing else... there is absolutly NOTHING wrong with it, cept it being annoying... |
| Scott | the update just keeps resetting itself. Have to use msconfig, clear cookies, and manually stop the process each time I want to listen to BBC radio on the internet. Oh, and if I try to listen without doing that, it jacks my internet connection. |
| crazeebob2000 | Installing "CodeStuff Starter", will stop it from running |
| NYCGriff | I normally use RealAlternative (latest version), but had to install this nasty piece of "legitmate" spyware. Removed it immediately after finishing what I had to do, Get rid of it!!! |
| Claire | If BBC wouldn't insist on useing realplayer for their trailers and Doctor Who clips I would have got rid of it ages ago. I've been experiencing problems with popups but believe I've found the cause and it wasn't this. Uses the least amount of CPU of all my tasks on this machine. |
| Wo | Uses 100% CPU time and possibly calls wscript.exe |
| | Aggressive marketing |
| Gary | It keeps causing the screen to change every time it cycles an update check. very annoying mid combat. |
| Azygos | Just disable it. Nothing wrong with this. Follow instructions. And you're done. Siehe auch: Link |
| Techware Computers | To keep this pest from reappearing, Install Startup Control Panel (No I dont work for the guy) and just UNCHECK the process. That way Realplayer thinks it is still in the startup section but it will not load when Windows starts. It is not needed as most have said. Pain in the butt. Siehe auch: Link |
| Roberoto | Its the msg center and updater of real player. Disabling the message center and the automatic updates in Real Player let it gone. |
| Ethan | It may be crappy software, but it is NOT DANGEROUS to your computer. All kinds of programs can have memory leaks and use too many resources. These programs are crappy, which is what this is. But it is NOT a security risk. I do recommend that people remove this buggy piece of crap though. |
| | Not only annoying and a memory hog, it isn't needed. Real Player isn't even necessary at all, with the exception of a video link from a website that doesn't give WMP or QuickTime as another option. Use Media Player Classic for video, and choose a different player for music. |
| | It's a Real Player program - not dangerous, but very annoying |
| | Real player execs should be lined up and shot |
| Rod | It apparently deals with updating RealOne Player, but I'm not for sure on its authenticity. |
| Munsel | It's a default, but not needed. RealPlayer Support site tells you how to turn this, and tkbell.exe off while leaving everything else just fine. (Search for "realsched.exe" from the support page.) |
| Pytak | RealPlayer message center. Pop-ups from the taskbar and shows random ads, sometimes causing the processor to run out of resources, but it's not really a spy- or malware. |
| Pewe | Eats up CPU cycles. RM should be sued for using CPU power and energy on millions of computers for this tool which is useless for the majority of users. Most of them run it constantly without knowing about it. There are better approaches for updating a piece of software. |
| Baneste | Slows down internet browsing and tracks your online activity. It is also an auto update utility for Real Player. |
| ShellShock | I have to kill the realsched.exe process before Creative MediaSource 5 Origanizer will open properly. So bin realsched. |
| | Any background program that can transfer useage info to somewhere else is potentially threatening. Who knows what could be done with this info?? Do you ever play a rip through RealPlayer? Do you want someone else to know. There are other media player programs available. Information gathering ... No thanks. I'm voting with my feet. Alan |
