It could be spyware run your current app for spyware removal.

Thank you for the reply, can you recommend some that certainly work for Vista and are free... not sure if there still is incompatibillty in this world.....

spybot search and destroy, lavasoft's adware 2008 r the ones I use.

The home of Spybot-S&D!

Ad-Aware 2008 - Reviews and free Ad-Aware 2008 downloads at Download.com

Will try these two at home, because I am at work at the moment.
If anyone knows any other way to stop it right now and not have to run those two programs (going to run them both just to be certain) i would be happy to try it.

Okay, this may seem like a double post but that just because no one answerd for a while, I havent had the updater.exe warning since yesterday when i made this topic.

I ran Ad-aware and Spybot like was recommended, they only found cookies...

The only option that includes updates I have changed in a while is from my UTorrent 1.8.2 (i think not sure which version)

So maybe it was Utorrent, could be something else not sure yet but cant be certain till it pops up again...

So for now it's "fixed"

Utorrent uses its own app to look for updates. Also run your antivirus software and see if it comes up with anything too.

Mmm did use my virus scan before the things happend.... think I ran it too after the first warning.... i have Symantec AntiVirus Coprate edition... I always update first.... Will run it tonight but dont think anything will come up, but so far no warnings so I think it might be solved somehow....
