Updater.exe can't be found Troubleshooting
Paul Sylvester
So you wroke up with this problem, of can't find the program called updater.exe or it tries to access the internet. Here are some things you should check out to make sure it isn't a virus:
It is most likely a Windows function but you should be cautious when things like this happen and you should check to make sure it is what it says it is. Some people from WOW have had this problem in the past. So it could just be a program that didn't update the right way or a Trojan or Virus. You should use [intlink id="2883" type="post"]Autopatcher[/intlink] to patch your system to be sure it is up to date. Remember if the system isn't patched that gives the Virus people a chance to install malware into your system and you know you don't want that.
- [ad#cricket-right-ez][intlink id="1802" type="post"]Hijackthis[/intlink] -- This will help determine if a virus changed the program. You would need to check to see where this so called Updater is by search for it.
- [intlink id="2205" type="page"]Firewall and Anti-virus Software[/intlink] -- You should check to see if you have the updates for that or if you don't you should have them installed.
- [intlink id="2205" type="page"]Do an online scan[/intlink] -- This might also reveal if there is a virus or not.
