macrovision update service keeps getting blocked at start up, any way to
fix?????

Any program running at startup that requests admin privileges will be
blocked each time at startup until you give permission for it. There are
some options. First is to question why it has to run each time at startup.
Seems like a waste of resources. I update programs periodically and don't
let them do it automatically except for the AV program. So one option is to
remove it from running at startup. Another option is to check with the
program author for a version that doesn't need admin privileges. There's no
reason why an autoupdater should need admin privileges.

Here is another option, run it as a scheduled task.

It's not that simple...I have this popup too, on a new system nuked to bare
hard drive and then installed apps. It's not in any Startup group, and the
various programs I've tried that show me the startup programs don't have it
listed. I'd be happy to turn it off, if I could find it. Or uninstall the
software that put it there in the first place...

Exactly, I have removed them from startup numerous times there are 3
programs that keep reappearing.

Hmm, that's too bad. I've not dealt specifically with macrovision update
service. It has to be running from somewhere. Have you tried Autoruns from
Microsoft?
 
I've looked everywhere I can think of and cannot find where this is
triggered. Suggestions?

Not that it helps any, since I'm getting a similar error message from Windows
Defender every time I restart, but... the InstallShield Update service seems
to be attached to Corel, Ulead, and Intervideo products (all Corel companies
now) I have installed on my system. I know it used to check for product
updates, but over the last few years it seemed to be coming up with more
cross-promotional ads for products and upgrades, than acutal updates to the
software it was installed with.

I HATE this software, but created holy hell when I tried to uninstall it.
Beware. The information on InstallShield's site was NOT current. When I
tried to modify the instructions given for XP to work on my new Vista system,
I ended up being unable to install any new programs... which resulted in a
complete reinstall of Vista from the ground up.

If anyone comes across credible information on disabling/removing
InstallShield Update Service (aka ISUSPM.exe) in Windows Vista, please let me
know.
