updmgr.exe

Is this an essential file? if so is there somewhere i can download a program to clean it of viri/ trojans? there is no need to go off on one about kazaa etc.

Could not find anthing about it on MS. Or in a general search. May be a bug.

Wel, well, well, look who's come crawling back!

That particular file is the main piece of spyware that is run by Kazaa as I recall. If you delete it, Kazaa stops working. Must... resist... saying... "I told you so"...

Hey ff; I told you so!

You should probably use Kazaa Lite if you must use that particular piece of trash .

I can't believe youre asking how to do this kimk, we've covered this about 5 times in the last 12 months. Simply disable msgms as a service on startup and lo! Msgr doesn't start. I don't recommend trying to wipe it, as it's linked in with various other Windoze stuff, but use msconfig and look in "startup" and "services" and you can't go far wrong.

My life just flashed before my eyes, and it was rather boring.
