realsched.exe

Same as evntsc.exe and/or TkBellExe. Application Scheduler installed along with RealOne Player. Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne Player. Not required - on many PCs EVNTSVC slows down boot-ups unacceptably, using up to 90% of CPU time on occasion. There have also been reports of EVNTSVC dropping advertising shortcuts onto the desktop during idle times.

 

Recommendation:

If you try to disable EVNTSVC via MSCONFIG, RealOne Player checks to see if it has been deleted from the Registry and re-instates it as a startup item. There is a facility within RealOne Player to "only perform automatic services while RealOne Player is in use". The best recommendation is to de-install RealOne Player and either use the classic RealPlayer, or something else such as WinAmp. If you absolutely want to keep RealOne Player, we suggest you rename EVNTSVC.EXE to EVNTSVC.EXE.OLD (or REALSCHED.EXE to REALSCHED.OLD) as that is the only way to make absolutely certain that it never runs, and RealOne Player works fine without it.
