What is GoogleUpdate and what
does UpdaterDeNagger
III
do?
If you use Google's Chrome, you most likely noticed how fast and
light it is. You might have also noticed that a new process,
"GoogleUpdate.exe", runs in the background. You can check this using
Task Manager. This program is formally used by Google Chrome to check
for new updates: if it finds an available update, it downloads and
installs it, automatically, without even prompting you!
Aside
from the fact that you don't really know what GoogleUpdate may be
sending to Google's servers when it contacts them periodically, you may
want maximize the efficiency of your system by reducing Internet
bandwidth and CPU use. You might also be annoyed by the constant
reminders from your firewall, if you use a quality firewall like
Sygate's and configured it
properly.
Unfortunately,
even if you "End Task" this process (using Task Manager), it
returns automatically after a few minutes or when you launch Chrome
next time. This behavior is typical to spyware, a virus and other types
of malware and it is very annoying.
If you would like a simple solution to stop GoogleUpdate in a
safe and reliable way, than Software Candy’s
UpdaterDeNagger
III is
the fix for you. Once this user friendly download is
installed on your Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer you
will be able to update Google Chrome only when
you
decide to do so. Your Chrome browser will keep working like normal but
you
will be
in
charge of deciding
when to check for
updates.
As with all Software Candy products,

is
completely free of any viruses or spyware (digitally signed for
authenticity and integrity) and is well tested for its advertised
features. If ever needed, you can also uninstall it completely with

The beauty of this wizard is that you don't have to do dangerous
registry editing by hand or remember what you did if you ever
want to revert back. Once you download this app (keep it in easy
to find folder!), you double-click it, click the Next button on the
installation wizard and Voila! Your GoogleUpdate won't keep
trying to install software
without your control.
Note:
It is recommended to check from time to time whether critical
security updates were released. Do it manually and decide for yourself
whether available updates fit your system.
The Google Chrome browser automatically updates itself, using a
background process that inconspicuously accesses the Internet and
downloads available updates. This background process is very
tenacious because Google Chrome installs it in multiple places,
including the registry and the Windows Task Scheduler. Fortunately,
Google Chrome Update has not discovered the Startup folder yet. So,
even if you are willing to take the risk of editing the registry by
hand and invest the time to do so, you may be surprised to
find out that GoogleUpdate.exe is still running numerous
times daily.
Recently, some Google Chrome users reported about Chrome
displaying a blank page or crashing on Windows 7, preventing them from
accessing the Internet via Chrome. It is unclear yet whether these
incidents are due to a faulty automatic Google Update or due to some
malware that is specifically targeting Chrome. Stay tuned for
updates on this matter.
- Q1. Will I have to run this program periodically to quiet
down Google Update?
- A1. Normally this is not necessary. However, it is possible
that if you manually updated Google Chrome, it re-installed Google
Update again. In such case, simply re-install UpdaterDeNagger
III (keep your download in an accessible folder).
