Winupdate.exe

[Denise]

Hello,

I have had this problem for a couple of months and would
like to get rid of it. Every time I start up my computer,
I get a message "Winupdate.exe" Cannot find the path or
components. This happened shortly after I installed
Kazaa. Since then I deleted it and I still have the
problem. PLease help me...I am desperate. Thank you

Denise,

If you installed Kazaa it may have come packaged with spyware or some
other malware. I believe this has been addresses in SWI Forums
before. You will need to install and run Spybot S&D and HijackThis,
and get the findings of HJT interpreted by experts. Start here for
instructions:
