FPCH Staff Tony D Posted April 4, 2016 FPCH Staff Posted April 4, 2016 Anyone heard of Soluto? Found it on a W8.1 machine I'm working on. This is a new one on me. Looks like another free app that optimizes your start up. The reading I've done says it's a PUP. Don't know how malicious it is. Quote
DSTM Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I had Saluto at one time. Tells you what is slowing your Boot time down. Records your every Boot time. I found it a Pain and got rid of it. My Scans never picked up the program as malicious.

FPCH Staff Tony D Posted April 4, 2016 Author FPCH Staff Posted April 4, 2016 Thanks Dougie. I don't know why people worry so much about boot time. Get a snack and just let it boot. 1 Quote
DSTM Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Or a coffee.LOL A long time ago, we had a thread running here comparing our Boot times just out of interest. We all installed Soluto to test our Boot times.. Cindy may remember. I think it was back in Windows7 Days.

FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted April 4, 2016 FPCH Admin Posted April 4, 2016 Yes, I do remember. It was something that we all did for fun. It was an interesting thread.

starbuck Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I don't know why people worry so much about boot time. Get a snack and just let it boot. Completely agree. I do have to laugh at the ones that install extra programs to alter the boot time and then say it was worth it because they've shaved 20 - 30 seconds off the boot time!!! They must be in such a hurry. :) The reading I've done says it's a PUP. My Scans never picked up the program as malicious. Seems you are both right ... sort of: It's not unusual for malicious files to use the name of legit files. What is soluto.exe? This is the main Soluto user interface (UI). soluto.exe by Firseria FIRSERIA, S.L. is a software publisher located in Badalona, Barcelona in Spain. The company is a primary distributor of unwanted software. The application soluto.exe by Firseria has been detected as PUP.Firseria.Installer. The program is a setup application that uses the Solimba DownloadMR installer. The installer uses the Solimba download manager to push adware offers during the download and setup process. Bundled adware includes search and shopping web browser toolbars. https://www.reasoncoresecurity.com/soluto.exe-77850c48ea9da0aaedb394b40c69989a1f46048d.aspx 2 Quote
