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.

I was reading the posts here about Motive SB and was wondering if I can remove “Verizon online support” and “Verizon Online” from my ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS list? Or will that screw up my DSL connections?
Thanks, Val
I just want to say thank you for having this web sit. That smartbridge was driving me crazy untill I decided to go on the hunt and find out what it was. That’s how I came across your site. Thank you and keep up the good work.
After unchecking SmartMoitive (listed twice) in msconfig, SmartMotive reappears after reboot. Is there something else I should be doing? Thanks
SmartMotive update comes on everytime I turn on the computer. I have Windows Millenium (ME). How would I shut this off. Thanks for the help. DR
Thanks Elliot! Worked like a charm, that thing has been driving me crazy for WAYYY to long. I can’t believe how simple it was.
