RSSMotive SmartBridge

The Motive SmartBridge background task is installed with Verizon Online’s software which is included with their residential DSL service. It has an autoupdate prompt which runs at startup. I disabled it on my computer simply because I don’t know exactly what it does. Since I don’t have a use for it and anything running uses up some memory, I’ll keep it that way.

This URL indicates to me that I will not download startup.exe. I say better safe than sorry.

I do not have or have ever downloaded anything to do with Verizon and yet I have Motive SmartBridge AutoUpdate coming up when I start up. When it is running, I cannot do a thing on my computer. It interupts whatever I am doing. It stays on my computer for anywhere from 1/2 to 3 hours (latest) I have checked my hard drive and I cannot find Motive SmartBridge. I have Spybot and AdAware on my computer now and it is still there. Can you tell me how to get rid of it.

Did you get a reply regarding how to delete that nasty motive smart thing? I am having the same problem and am looking for a solution. Thanks

I didn’t get any help about removing it but I was talking to a colleague and he said to go to the start menue, then run and type in ‘msconfig. When the screen comes up, find” it and delete it. I don’t know if it took it off my computer completely but it doesn’t run when I start up anymore. Good luck
