Hi all.

Well intermittent but definitely there, I get crashes of different programs at everchanging intervals.

EventViewer at this time shows this log:

Does anyone have any idea what this is?

I've switched off Widnows Auto Update BTW, even the service. Does it look like I have a parasitic version of it?

Is wuauclt.exe running in your Task Manager?

I would suggest navigating to that file and put it into Move On Boot and reboot.

Well thats the problem...its no where to be seen!

Its not in Task Manager and the windows updates, and the update service are both stopped.

Nifty utility BTW
