QlikSenseServiceHelper.exe is a temporary service used by Qlik Sense during installation, upgrade, or uninstallation processes.
Its primary function is to assist in removing already existing Qlik Sense services if they cannot be uninstalled automatically. This service is designed to run only as needed and is intended to be removed automatically once its task is complete. If QlikSenseServiceHelper.exe persists after the installation or upgrade process, it indicates that it was not successfully removed, and a server restart may be required to clean up the service.
If this service is flagged as a security concern during scans, it is generally safe to ignore it, given its role in the Qlik Sense upgrade process. However, it is essential to verify that the service is from a legitimate source and not indicative of other security issues.
