Spy-like softwareA few days after I uninstalled "Free Audio Converter" from DVDVideoSoft, I found that the updater was still active and registered as a Windows service.
I'm sad...('ω')
If any of the following conditions are true, why not start the Windows service and check for traces?
- I installed Free Audio Converter but I have already uninstalled it
- I have installed a product from DVDVideoSoft, but it has already been uninstalled.

Program names and service names often do not match.
To identify the desired service, check the following items.

In mysterious services, the "Description" item is often a software name or blank.

Disable it for the time being

- Disable the Digital Wave Update Service startup type
- Delete app_updater.exe *1
*1: The full path of app_updater.exe is as follows.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\DVDVideoSoft\lib\app_updater.exe
If you set the startup type to "Disable", app_updater.exe will not start, but if you delete app_updater.exe, it will be executed even if it is registered in [Run] of the registry or task scheduler. It is not.

Afterword
2017/11/22I found a wreckage of a Free Audio Editor named Product Updater in the task scheduler.
Since the corresponding folder has been deleted, FFProductUpdater.exe will not be started, but it is unpleasant that the invalid entries remain.
Judging from the name of Product Updater, it seems to be a common updater for DVDVideoSoft. I deleted it from the task scheduler entry because it is a task I don't need.
Product Updater properties
"C:\Program Files\Free Audio Editor 2017\FFProductUpdater.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Free Audio Editor 2017\FFProductUpdater.exe"
