| gehört wohl zu dem update service für die google tools, jedoch bekam ich bei der installation einen bluescreen und firewall, sowie antivir warne aus und ich hatte keine berechtigungen mehr sie zu installieren, also ich persönlich mag den prozess nicht und finde ihn leicht unnütz, vorallem, weil ich google nicht traue...

| Despite disabling it in Scheduled Tasks, and using Autoruns to do the same, always turns itself back on. Any program that so clearly runs contrary to the users wishes must be classed as "dangerous." But it does not appear to be spyware. jm | |
| Although the Google searching service is outstanding, they also have a bad record of intrusion and collusion. Therefore, anything and everything planted by Google should be suspect, most especially when it is an automatic service instead of being on-call only, and most especially if it was put on my machine without my knowledge.

| My computer was rebooting at odd times and just before the ERROR messages in my event log, there was gusvc as an event. I started deleting all google stuff to see if the problem stopped. XB | |
