I didn't realise Dragon ran a background updating service. I know Google Chrome updates using Task Scheduler.

I'll add this to another reason why I don't need to use Dragon.

In the screen you took, you underlined 2 services that belong to Comodo Backup.
For Dragon you can do as i did , modify the service entry to Start Manually.

Yeah, that's a new thing.

Why though?

Surely a scheduled task would have been a better alternative.

OT: Although I know Skype has an updating service now.

Yeah that is what I have noticed as well now.

Why though?

I'm going to assume it's to automatically check for updates.

Surely a scheduled task would have been a better alternative.

Maybe. I don't know the reasoning behind it. Perhaps they felt in the event of an emergency update, a running process would be quicker to update than a scheduled update?

In my opinion, I think an update check upon opening the browser would be sufficient.
