ArcSoft Connect is the update and information service application that is bundled with ArcSoft software. When you install an ArcSoft multimedia application on your computer, the ArcSoft Connect software will automatically launch. The application runs continually in the background, and you can access it from its icon in the system tray on the taskbar. Because the application is always running in the background, it can contribute to a decrease in your computer's processing speed. To stop ArcSoft Connect from running, use the System Configuration utility. To remove the application from your computer, you need to delete all ArcSoft programs on your system.
