Hi,

I tried PC Master's procedure but I was just not fast enough. The sysupd.exe process stopped for only a quarter of a second - not long enough to delete it.

But I managed to delete it anyway and I followed the steps below:

Search for sysupd.exe to make sure you know where it is.

Restart the machine in safe mode with the command line.

Go to c:\Windows ( assuming that is where your search found it )

Type "dir s*.exe" [Enter] just to make sure that the file is there.

Type "del sysupd.exe" [Enter]. This will erase it.

Restart the machine in normal mode.

Search for and delete every instance of _UPDATE.DAT. There will probably one for all users of the system.

DONE!

I hope this works for you too.

Thanks,

Mike
