wupdater.exe and sgtray.exe

[michael]

I am receiving three odd and new messages during startup
with windows XP professional. They all involve failure of
either wupdater.exe, sgtray.exe, or wjviewer. I also get
a message "data1.dat was not found" or "error: could not
execute main: the system cannot find the file specified."

Anyone with any bright ideas on what caused this?

Run Spybot first http://www.safer-networking.org/

Then Hijack this http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/

Before you use the spybot,click on the check for updates
first...Good luck.

sgtray.exe is a background monitoring function of Veritas Storage Guard,
which in most cases gets installed as part of Veritas backup products.

wupdater.exe is spyware

wjview is a utility that lets you view Java applications. In your case, it
seems as though it is or was being used by spyware
