I need help. The UpdateTask.exe keeps wanting to connect to the internet. I scanned spybot and then did a full system scan on F-secure--nothing.
Also, looked for it in Add/Remove programs. Not there.
How do I get rid of it?
Thanks!

Reviews on it are mixed. >50% said it is benign but of unknown origin, a couple of sites indicated moderately malicious behavior. Google UpdateTask.exe and you will find plenty of references on how to remove it.
You know, I'm just not sure if my files are backed up. You need to back up your files b4 trying to remove it. What a pain. Yes, I googled it b4 asking for help.

Do you have ask.com as a toolbar or search engine in your browser-any browser you have?
If you do, remove the ask toolbar from 'add/remove programs' in the 'control panel'.
