Need help with IUPDATE.EXE ERRORS

[Marilyn Sticklor]

My daughter's computer had Windows ME and I installed software to upgrade it
to Windows XP. Now, the computer gets constant error messages which say
that there is an error in IUPDATE.EXE. I uninstalled Internet explorer in
an attempt to eliminate this (she uses netscape) but that doesn't fix the
problems. If we leave the computer on overnight, there are multiple error
messages in the morning. I have run sophos, ad-aware and spybot-but this
does not eliminate the problem and in fact I think the computer had been
receiving these type of "invaders" with greater frequency. Is there any way
of eliminating this? I do not want to wipe out everything on the
harddrive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That's not a windows file. It might be a sophos related file. Maybe
try unistall/reinstall sophos?

In addition, you can use Start, Search, to find out where is the file.

And after you have located the file, use mouse to point the file and right
click "property" to see more detailed information about the file, such as
which product is it installed from, company name, and so on.

With that information, you may use Add/Remove to uninstall the program.

Good luck and hope this will help.
