1. ZoneAlarm has told me on many occasions today that PostUpdate.exe is trying to access the internet. As I wasn't familiar with the name, I've just done a search on my hard drive and found the following:
POSTUPDATE.EXE -3368 C:/WINDOWS/prefetch 9KB PF file
PostUpdate.exe C:/WINDOWS/system32/M 52KB Application
PostUpdate.exe.old C:/WINDOWS/system32/M 52KB OLD file
Googling PostUpdate.exe brings up lots of mentions of malware/spyware.
Can someone tell me whether I should be doing something about this application please?
2. Whilst looking at the ZoneAlarm message, I also spotted a new icon in my system tray for Shockwave updater. This doesn't respond to a right or a left click and I don't have any shockwave on my list of programmes.
Any suggestions as to why it should suddenly have appeared there and how I can get rid of it please?
