Product was running CPU 45 - 65% on new Inspiron I5 system with SSD.  Performance was pathetic.

89 Negative comments from slow networking with this awful software, no reply from Dell whatsoever and the forum is mysteriously locked after 9 pages of complaints.  I've run across dozens of other complaints to uninstall Smartbyte as a solution in this community, and others that don't have a clue what could be wrong.,  I run across Killer Network nic cards and associated fake-ware and nothing but poor performance and problems.

Many stated the software keeps reinstalling itself.  My solution was to just stop the service and set to disabled, and uninstall Dell Support Assist, Driver Update, Dell Backup and other bloatware.  Also noticed this scheduled task for SmartByte Telemetry in Task Scheduler that apparently phones home with only God and Dell know what information it is collecting and sending all the whilst making my new i5 run like a 1999 Celeron.  Delete, Delete Delete.
