check my signature and get ad-aware and spybot ,update them and then scan you computer and fix any thing they find ,download and run run Hijackthis ,and scan don't fix anything in hijackthis yet , save log file and post it back here .

Hi

C:\Program Files\Common files\Updater\wupdater.exe <<< del Updater folder

But you will need to stop the exe file running first.....

You can remove the run key from the registry with regedit (backup the registry first)...then reboot....then delete the folder

Or try try to end task with Ctrl-Alt-Del.....then delete the folder

You could delete the folder in safemode

Or you could post a HJT log and we'll stop it running that way...

I am having problems with wupdater.exe. And understand how to delete, but before I do, I'd like to know what it is used for?
