Wuauclt |
Wuauclt.exe |
Microsoft
AutoUpdate for Windows Millennium Edition. Whenever you connect to
the Internet, WUAUCLT checks the Microsoft website for updates to Windows
Millennium Edition. |
| Wucrtupd | WUCrtUpd.exe (Microsoft) |
Windows
Update Critical Update Notification. This will appear in your Task
List if you did a Windows Update at some stage and installed the
"Critical Update Notification" component. In some
versions this process is scheduled to run every 5 minutes and you cannot
change the schedule (under Windows 98 you can get round it with the
"sucrtupd" technique, but not under other versions of
Windows). Recommendation : de-install Microsoft Windows Critical Updates Notification. It is best that you simply do a Windows Update once every two or three months, say, and only at times when you do not require your PC urgently in the following 24 hours ! Finally, quite aside from the above, WUCRTUPD is also sometimes responsible for illegal operations, 3-seconds mouse freezes, WULOADER error messages, and Invalid Page Faults in KERNEL32. |
| Wuloader | WULoader.exe (Microsoft) |
Microsoft’s
Windows Update Critical Update loader. This task will only appear
in your Task List if you installed the Microsoft Critical Update
Notification (via a Windows Update in most cases). In addition to
the well publicised "Invalid Page Fault" problems with
WULOADER, two other downsides are that WULOADER by default accesses the
Microsoft website every 5 minutes and, when it is running, ScanDisk and
Defrag will restart endlessly and will not be able to complete. Recommendation : De-install Windows Critical Update Notification via the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the Control Panel. You are not missing anything. Simply run a Windows Update once a month to see if there are some critical updates you should install. |
| Wqk | Wqk.exe
/ Wqk.dll (???) |
You have the KLEZ virus. |
| Wmencagt | WMEncAgt.exe (Microsoft) |
Windows
Media Encoder Agent. This task enables you to use your Windows
Media Encoder remotely from another system. Recommendation : This is a potential security hole on your PC and we cannot think of anyone who would want to use such an esoteric feature. Disable in Startup Manager |
