hi
there is this wuauclt.exe process running in memory backgrnd.
The process runs from windows\system32\....if i delete or rename the exe file, it gets created again.
I have DISABLED windows updates, still it keeps running. Does it eat my internet bandwidth too??
WHy does it begins by itself, even if i have turned it off, or deleted?? Is it a virus/trojan??
I want to turn off the process.
Pls help
thx in advance
