I have a prog. called Winupdater.exe loading at startup(XP Home). This hangs
my system until I end it with Task Manager. I can't find any reference to it
anywhere on the drive using search, or anything in the registry. Is this a
real XP prog. or some bogus prog. ?
Thanks, Al
 
Hi Al

May I suggest that you virus check your system with the latest definitions for your AV program and also check for any spyware that might be on your system with either/both of the following programs:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/

Also have a look in msconfig>startup to see if there is any reference to the file.
 
I do have both Spybot and Ad-Aware. Msconfig shows no reference to
Winupdater......
