Odd icon in the taskbar

Post by Rogue 9 »

I'm running Windows 7. Over the past couple of weeks this icon showed up in the taskbar. I've never seen it before.

Image

When I hover over it, the hover text says, "New updates available. Click here to review." Actually clicking on it doesn't open anything; instead it makes it disappear into the hidden icons menu, where it still remains unclickable. It will eventually migrate back out to the taskbar. I find this extremely suspicious, but malware scans turn up nothing. Does anyone know what that icon is from?
It's Rogue, not Rouge!

Open task manger processes, stop "autoupdate.exe", then mouse over the icon in your task bar and see if it disappears.

If that doesn't work, do the same thing for "AAM Updates Notifier.exe"

And "hpwuschd2.exe"

PS: it probably isn't a virus, its from one of the many shovelware programs that came with your HP computer. Every "computer guy" ever will tell you to do a clean install after buying a computer from a major manufacturer since they include so much crap that slows down your computer and causes problems.

You can get rid of the worst ones with this:

It was autoupdate.exe. Thanks.

Best thing to come out of this is that the junkware removal tool seems to have killed the Windows 10 nag app, at least for the moment. :D

That's Creative Labs' auto-updater for your soundcard drivers and whatnot. Not bloatware per se, but not really necessary either since you can just go to their website to download updates.
