I finally blocked it, 3 months on I can say I finally killed the mf. Just to mention, for automatically searching for and downloading drivers on Windows in general, there is a great tool called Snappy Driver Installer Origin. (I would rather recommend lightweight Nvidia installation using NVCleanstall). Best advice would probably be to use software bloatware like Geforce Experience. However some games might require the latest drivers for Nvidia. You can just update them once a year or so and you will be more than 100% fine. Regarding the software to do it automatically, for example Lenovo Legion Toolkit can now search and download the official driver binaries from Lenovo Support. Just make sure they are not very outdated, which you can ensure during first setup by installing the right drivers from laptop manufacurer manually and not letting Windows Update search for them (Although many people don't prevent that and experience no issues whatsoever). Just before I removed the Tobii service (aoney760) I also blocked it in my firewall application rules so even if the b'tard gets back on it's not getting out that way.įirst of all, it's not really necessary to always have the latest drivers for everything. I've also removed the Tobii service itself, and removed it's drivers using a DriverStoreExplorer (named aoney760 something or other). I've installed Autoruns and searched for Lenovo and disabled most stuff, notably ImController and it's inf plugins. As I don't have Vantage anymore I'm fairly certain it's not that. UPDATE 3: I'm beginning to think its some sort of Lenovo service reinstalling, since the "Tobii Experience" device in device manager->software components doesn't reinstall on rescan if I'm offline. UPDATE 2: It also installs a "Software component" in Device Manager's "Software Components" section that refuses to uninstall permanently, a rescan just reinstalls it :((( I'm really annoyed and frustrated at this crapware. UPDATE: I've removed Lenovo Vantage and for a couple of weeks it didn't re-appear. I think Lenovo Advantage is re-installing it but given I've set preferences in that app not to automatically update I don't really know how it's re-installing.Ĭan anybody advise how I get rid of this crap - BCUninstaller doesn't detect it either? Has no uninstaller after initial "removal".Overwrites an empty ".tobii" folder that I was the sole security owner of in C:/Users (not even Administrators/System were on it).Re-adds a ".tobii" folder and config in C:/Users.Re-adds a "Tobii Runtime Service", after I manually removed the service, and automatically runs it.Reinstalls itself after I uninstalled it.Calls home (now blocked by BitDefender).Apparently it's not a virus but something that:
