Can you help me? What does this wupdater.exe do? It comes
on when i shut down.
 
Windows updater.exe. It's trying to connect and look for
any updates. Turn off the automatic update and use the
manual update by having your IE browser open and clicking
tools\windows update. Look at your help and support center
for configuration of automatic updating. This is the first
place to look for answers to your questions. Have fun.
 
This is not a Windows file. It was probably added to your system by another
program that you have installed. Try using Search to locate the file. Its
location and/or properties may give clues about what it belongs to. When
you know that information, you can check with tech support for that program
for a solution and/or patch to fix the program.

Wupdater.exe is part of a spyware application, not a Windows XP file.
Maliscious programmers will often name a file that appears to be similar to
a Windows system file to fool users into thinking it is safe.

Go to the following websites for more information.
