Description: The link given is to the explanatory/removal page - the updater itself is often associated with severe instability and problems, and is a parasite that struggles to remain in control, having surreptitiously planted itself only after a couple of runs. Not confirmed malware, but I'd certainly classfy it as objectionable, and with dishonest behaviour.
