WkUFind.exe

[Conan Kelly]

Hi All,

I noticed this file (WkUFind.exe) on the Processes tab of Windows Task
Manager (Win XP Pro on a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop--MS Works 2002 PictureIt
OEM). When I searched the internet for this file I found this page:

http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/wkufind/

On this page it mentions "If the detector is enabled..." and it also
mentions Removal of this process with their 3rd party software.

I would like to know if there is any way to disable/remove this process
manually, i.e. a registry setting or something else.

Any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated'

Scroll down to WkUfind.exe
From the article:
Microsoft Works 2002 PictureIt! update detector. Another auto-update feature
that you should turn off ! If you are not convinced, then this from a Microsoft
document should convince you : "You may notice that when this feature runs your
computer may freeze or the program may try to update itself.... You may also
notice that the computer will try to dial your Internet Service Provider,
connect to the Internet, and download any updates."

Recommendation :
Turn the feature off. Auto-updating is the worst feature to ever have ON in any
computer program. (1) Open PictureIt!. (2) Open a picture. (3) Choose the
Tools \ Options menu option. (4) Clear the "Check for updates online" option.
(5) Close PictureIt!. (6) Reboot your PC. If that still does not get rid of
WKUFIND, then also disable it in The Ultimate Troubleshooter.

You can access the services running on your machine by
right clicking on the my computer icon and clicking
manage. Look for that service and set it to manual. You
don't want to disable services, unless you ABSOLUTELY
know you do not need them. I.E. if you disable the
wireless zero configuration it will keep your wireless
hardware from working properly.
