wupdater.exe pop up window

[Brian Hibbert]

Whenever I log off my XP computer a pop up called
wupdater.exe appears with a message about ending the
program. Why has this just started and how do I stop it?

Hi, wupdater.exe is not a valid Windows file.

Hi Brian,

You have a bit of a parasite on the system, please see this link:

Check your system for other "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
