Every time I reboot my computer or log in I get this message.

Anyway to stop it?
I don't want to run it.
I doesn't seem safe.

If you think it's fishy, don't let it run and do AV/malware scans.
Or... remove it from your startup process.
Windows key + R, 'msconfig'.
Startup tab, find the correct entry.

Vista has no Windows Update.exe in C:\WINDOWS
I'm not sure if XP does tho?
Still if you set Window's Update to Run on start-up then it shouldn't ask...

Go to http://virusscan.jotti.org/ and Upload the file to check if it's virused or not...

Also check if it is located in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Start Menu\All Programs\Start Up

Uncheck 'always ask before opening this file'.

The screen is from a XP computer.
WinUpdate icon + the bottom bar. Original Vista logos stick a little over the bottom bar.

Like a above poster said, Run > msconfig > startup > find the entry > remove mark, then reboot.

I don't have a WindowsUpdate.exe in my XP SP3 install's WINDOWS directory. Although I don't know if it's totally up to date... Razz

It looks like an XP with vista theme, judging by the start button (it doesn't go out of the task bar a bit)

It should not do that at startup, it just asks you at the taskbar normally.
