The Canon Support Assistant or Canon is a utility included in all Canon computers to diagnose technical issues and manage updates. While Canon technical support will often refer you to use the Support Assistant, many users find the program intrusive and unnecessary — especially when a critical function is interrupted by Canon reminders or automatic updates. Depending on how displeased you are with the Canon, you can prevent it from installing updates, block it from running on startup and even completely uninstall it.
