Dan Crea Mine was way oversized compared to the description. Seems to be related to some nasty spyware that I am fighting.
KW Updatet Google Produkte. Wird automatisch installiert. Läuft unbemerkt im Hintergrund. Verbraucht Systemresourcen. Lässt sich nur schwer entfernen.
NooBiSh Google Update.exe is starting with OS boot up. And i admit its unplesent. After like 5 mins. it disaperas from the tasks, but i admit its taking some memory and etc. It is not an operation that i want to be running on my PC and none i have selected this to be installed! So i prefer it is some file that makes data transfer from personal PC to unknown location. Everytime the information transfer started it goes to different IP.
