Is easy update.exe a safe program?

What is a program called update.exe easy? I get it and don't know if I should allow it or not. Thank you

Hello

Do you use products by AnalogWay? They use a program named for updates.

AnalogWay
http://www.analogway.com/technical_support/remotecontrolsoftware.php

If necessary the search of the program and see if its location provides all useful information. Also right-click on
TI tab - properties - retail - all useful information there?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Probably put in the startup programs.

For XP using RUN - MSCONFIG Startup tab

For Vista or Windows 7

Start - type in the search box-> find MSCONFIG in top - right click on the start - RUN AS ADMIN tab.

Autoruns - free - see what programs are configured so that it starts automatically when
your system boots and you connect. Autoruns also shows you the complete list of the registry
and where applications can configure Auto-start for the files settings.

=======================================

Scan it with your antivirus and antispware programs.

Download on these sites that will use several programs to verify the file.

    Hi Dudley,

    This can help identify which application has generated this message.

    Start Notepad and let Windows load completely.  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  For the run box, type msconfig and press ENTER.  In the next window, click the Startup tab, uncheck the box next to each startup item and then click on apply to apply the change.  Reboot the laptop and let it run long enough to see if the message no longer appears.  Reactivate a substantive point both (your security software would be a good first choice), click on apply and restart, then check if the message now.  Keep doing this until you encounter the message following if poster again and you will know that the last program that you define to start is the cause.

    I would like to know what program it is.

  • Message update\update.exe is not a valid file because the computer has been infected from malware attacks

    Original title: update\update.exe message is not a valid file when tried to install IE8 KB2744842 patch

    I got this virus live Platinum security.  I think about Microsoft bulletin as CVE - 2012 - 4969 Backdoor: Win 32/Poison.BR supposedly he is gone now with PC Tools Spyware Doctor with antivirus.  I can no longer get critical updates to www.update.microsoft.com and cannot go there and get either them.  I have automatic updates turn on my computer, but when I go to the update site, it asks me to turn on the automatic updates, but doesn't change from red to green.  If I click on the express, it gives me a message there is a problem with the web page.  I have read some solutions and typed in will looking for three files like BIT and update, but the only one listed was the workstation.  I did some research and found the servers to Windows IE8 patch KB2744842 and downloaded and when I tried to install it, he unpacked himself and then ran, and then I got the message saying that update\update is not a valid Win 32 application.  I searched this file and found it was created on 20/09/2012, the same day I had the terrible malware and under properties, it is called configuration of Windows Service Pack, the version of the 6.3.0004.1 built by: dnsrv, internal name update.exe, English, original name: update.exe on my computer, it is C:\\bb5d6cfc84bf6a13dde9b006.update

    Try to solve this problem cost me $230 plus the cost of PCTools Spyware.  I called a number to the www.spywarehelpcenter.com to support when I was having trouble installing the PCTools in safemode and said Malwarebytes Pro was much better and used by companies and he said he gave me $150 off so it cost me one once charge $50 and there is no renewal and sold me a one year $ 180 contract to remove the virus and the development of my computer.  He had insisted on it going remotely and showed me all these errors.   I think that I made a mistake to trust him.  Two technicians have worked on my computer remotely on two different days without a firewall and installed Malwarebytes Pro three times because it kept to give a message of corruption, and it is that when I pointed out to them there is no firewall that was added by a sort of sharedaccess.reg problem is I can't get and install the critical updates.  I trust a third time to do things?  They have deleted quite a few programs.  I think that maybe the problem is that they were not aware of the fixit patch and the full patch to IE8.  I run Windows XP Professional and probably should upgrade to Windows 7 in the near future.

    I should add that a few days before that happened, I noticed that if I went in sysedit, the config.sys and autoexec.bat files windows were empty.   My computer has always competed, but it seemed very slowly.  I could not find a solution for this and read that you don't really need these files.  I have the original operating system disk and has been reading how to install it, but only for the repair by pressing 'r' and let it repair missing files.   So I don't know what to do.  Any advice?  I am so tired of this, but still have hope to operate correctly.

    Hi Catnip009,

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: I suggest you to download and make a bootable CD or USB to Windows Defender in offline mode, and then run the tool.

    For more information, see the following articles:

    What is Windows Defender in offline mode?

  • Can I delete file update.exe in C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig

    Hello

    I need more space in the C drive, and I find that under C:\WINDOWS\, the $hf_mig folder contains 170 + subfolders that 515 MB of space and each those subfolder contains update.exe. Remove the update.exe file in these subfolders under C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig?

    Please advise me.
    With many thanks,.
    Ying

    Don't NOT delete the folder $ $hf_mig or its content.

    When a critical security patch update, update, update rollup, driver or a feature pack installs GDR version files, the hotfix files are also copied to the folder % windir%\$hf_mig$. This supports migration to the appropriate files if you install a hotfix or a service pack that includes earlier versions of these files later.

    FYI -.

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

    Repeat once again, do NOT delete the folder $ $hf_mig

  • Updater.exe

    Whenever I restart my PC, a window pops up that says "Windows cannot find"Updater.exe".  Make sure you typed the name corrrectly, and then try again.  I checked the Task Manager and the registry, but can't find what is trying to pull up the program.  Some attempts to correct them (Windows Installer Cleanup Utlitilty) tells me that they cannot run because I'm not an administrator - but I'm - I'm the only profile on the PC.   I ran antivirus and uninstalled/reinstalled Adobe Acrobat, software that did not work properly.  Is it a virus or an error?

    Even if you are an administrator on your machine, by design, all users run with Standard user privileges.  To get extra privileges, if you are not offered them via a prompt for user access control, you need to maybe right-click on the .exe and look for the option "run as Administrator".  This is referred to as running with elevated privileges.

    Firefox checks the updates the module as it is launched and checks the availability of an update for Firefox, about 5 minutes after the launch. or use a separate update process, they run the process firefox.exe.
