it seams that there is a file in my system that don't belong there

in the windows sys32 folder there is a file called
wuauclt.exe

and it looks like it is a trojan virus - cult-B

when I delete it , it comes right back
how do I get rid of this
searched everywhere and could not find any help/

[pizzaboy089]

use anti-virus and/or ad-ware software. There are some free ones out. Spybot is a good free Ad-ware remover.

thats the only site that had anything on it but I can't buy there software

I tried everything else, but it comes back as soon as I delete it, also its removed from the reg already.
but it won't go away.

no I have never had ME

I always run spybot and adware

none of the anti-virus programs detect it eather.

I have that file to on my system, one is in system 32 folder and one in servicepackfiles and it appears to be a windows update thing.

no scanners show this as a virus or trojan

[glc]

It's a windows update thing, not malware.

[Blue_Gundam2002]

I have it in my system32 and SP folders. Why exactly do you think it doesn't belong there?

[bigandy]

I do too, how bout that . I saw a site that said that, but it only mentioned ME, and I was pretty sure bailey isn't running ME.

[bailey]

I am told that because it is the update program for wME and that its not supposed to be in xp. but I do not know for sure eather way.
thats why I was trying to find out

[andyms18a]

wuauclt.exe is part of xp i have it on all my xp computers in sys32 folder and the sp1 i386 folder

[bailey]

I agree that its belongs there and is not a trojan, but it did have me wondering
I just had to double check with you guys, as yous do know more than I do about this stuff.

thanks for the replys
