M.Langhoff Der Task führt keinerlei Scanaktionen aus. Dies ist der Updater Prozess fuer NAI Enterprise 7.x bis 8.0i. Aktiviert wird dieser (sofern ueber epO Policy nicht geblockt) ueber : Rechtsklick auf VSCAN Symbol, "jetzt updaten" bzw. ueber einen Zeitbasierten Task.

rh Another fine resource hog --- great for slowing down a PC. You don't need a virus or a worm to cause performance issues.
norman I have no McAffee appz on my computer, but I did detect updaterUI, so there is something suspicious, isn´t it?

Kills your processor when it turns on, has something to do with McAfee

benszoko McAfee Framework Package or CMA 3.5. Normally part of Enterprise 7/8 McAfee. There are bugs in early versions. Mcafee has released server patchsets for the FramePackage--Also called CMA on Mcafee/NAI website. Last patch version 5. Also comes with EPO Server.  See also: Link
Curtiss Brown I confirm the constant i/os Really, I have enough going on. A better explanation is needed from McAfee on why this is necessary.
Jean-Simon Larochelle It sometimes comes with McAfee antivirus software and looks like a legitimate component
Unknown I know it's not Dangerous. Mcafee is better then Norton any day
Subhash Kamboj This is MCAffe's own program for updates.
Peedy Updater UI ist eine EXE Datei von McAffe Antivirus oder Firewall.
travis It is McAfee's updater
W123789 McAfee Virus Scan's client for updates. Should be harmless, unless infected.
Martin Part of the McAfee antivirus software, handles updates. Some versions (VirusScan Enterprise 7.1) may cause error messages about PSAPI.DLL with IE7. Solution: rename ...\Network Associates\Common Framework\PSAPI.dll and reboot the system.
SAURABH MANGAL AVG & MCaffe dont detect it as virus
cannot start cma process
chuck it hits on I/O reads at 50 /sec , a pain in the ass, and major slow down McAfee component.
Andrew Jenkins Updater takes memory I need for doing my job as an engineer, sometimes chokes and takes huge amounts of memory, and in general reduces computer productivity. Personally, I feel it is just anohter one of the many tools MIS departements use to reduce productivity and increase their self-importance.
When I am editing text, my cursor will stop in mid-sentence. I have to go to the task manager and end the UpdaterUI process in order to continue. It is a memory hog.
Rix looks like virus definitions updater for McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, although harmless, it can load your processor quite heavily from time to time
