Remove AsusSurvey.exe?

If you own an ASUS computer, read this post carefully.

AsusSurvey.exe is an executable file that belongs to the ASUS Survey software, developed by ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. This program is typically pre-installed on ASUS computers or included with ASUS software packages. The primary purpose of this software is to collect user feedback and opinions about ASUS products and services through occasional surveys. ASUS claims that this feedback helps them to better understand user needs and improve their products.

It is considered a non-essential Windows process, meaning it is not critical for your operating system to function. It causes relatively few problems, but some malware does camouflages itself as AsusSurvey.exe.

This file might be needed if you wish to provide feedback to ASUS about your experience with their hardware or software. Participating in these surveys can potentially influence future product development. However, some users may find the notifications and background process somewhat intrusive.

You might consider removing it if you do not wish to participate in ASUS surveys or if you are looking to reduce the number of non-essential programs running in the background to free up system resources. While the legitimate file is not a virus, any executable file can potentially be spoofed by malware.

How to remove
The file is just 50 kB and is typically located in a subfolder of C:\ProgramData\ASUS\AsusSurvey\.

Simply navigate to this location and remove the file. You need Administrator rights to actually remove it.
