I noticed my laptop fans were in high rev mode and a quick check revealed
that the processor time was being occupied by something called
CLUpdater.exe.

A quick google showed that this is updating something called 'Craig's List',
but didn't tell me too much about it.

What on earth is Craig's List? What does it do for me. If it doesn't do
anything, how do I get rid of it.

Got Google? =>

Craigs List is an online ad area where people buy and sell things along with
other sorts of things done in Newspapers. If you don't know what it is you
probably don't use it and you should get rid of it from the startup area
and/or the registry.

I did actually find that one. Unfortunately the link contained within it
that supposedly tells you what Craig's list is is broken.

I don't use it; never have used it and have no intention of using it. I
couldn't find anything in my startup (using msconfig). So how do I get rid
of it?

Is it running before you do anything else on your machine? From what I
understand, it considered a Widget (whatever that means) and is somehow
connected to browsing. Once you have identified what gets started this
thing, you will have a better chance to understand how it got where it
is and how to remove it.

Craig's List is a web site and I don't think that file has anything to do
with it. More likely it is associated with some program on your PC such as
Powerdvd8. Do a search for the file on your C: partition to see where it is
located--that might give you a clue as to what it belongs to.

Is it an Add On in Internet Explorer which can be disabled?

Try and find the file CLUpdater.exe on your disk, right click on it and
choose properties. There should be a version tab, with details of the
program's source. It's more likely to be something to do with CyberLink
PowerDVD.

If it is indeed Craigslist, you should be asking yourself how you
managed to get on your machine. Was someone else responsible?

Are you saying that PowerDVD somehow uses Craigslist or that it uses an
updating utility with the same name as the real craig's list? What would
PowerDVD be updating that takes so long?

If it is craig's list, I am less concerned with how it got there and more
concerned with getting rid of it.
