I noticed my laptop fans were in high rev mode and a quick check revealed
that the processor time was being occupied by something called
CLUpdater.exe.

A quick google showed that this is updating something called 'Craig's List',
but didn't tell me too much about it.

What on earth is Craig's List? What does it do for me. If it doesn't do
anything, how do I get rid of it.

Got Google? =>

Craigs List is an online ad area where people buy and sell things along with
other sorts of things done in Newspapers. If you don't know what it is you
probably don't use it and you should get rid of it from the startup area
and/or the registry.

I did actually find that one. Unfortunately the link contained within it
that supposedly tells you what Craig's list is is broken.

I don't use it; never have used it and have no intention of using it. I
couldn't find anything in my startup (using msconfig). So how do I get rid
of it?

Is it running before you do anything else on your machine? From what I
understand, it considered a Widget (whatever that means) and is somehow
connected to browsing. Once you have identified what gets started this
thing, you will have a better chance to understand how it got where it
is and how to remove it.

Craig's List is a web site and I don't think that file has anything to do
with it. More likely it is associated with some program on your PC such as
Powerdvd8. Do a search for the file on your C: partition to see where it is
located--that might give you a clue as to what it belongs to.

Try and find the file CLUpdater.exe on your disk, right click on it and
choose properties. There should be a version tab, with details of the
program's source. It's more likely to be something to do with CyberLink
PowerDVD.

If it is indeed Craigslist, you should be asking yourself how you
managed to get on your machine. Was someone else responsible?

Is it an Add On in Internet Explorer which can be disabled?

Are you saying that PowerDVD somehow uses Craigslist or that it uses an
updating utility with the same name as the real craig's list? What would
PowerDVD be updating that takes so long?

If it is craig's list, I am less concerned with how it got there and more
concerned with getting rid of it.

CraigsList is much like the classified section of your newspaper. Except
that it doesn't accept ads for guns but it does accept ads for prostitutes
("Erotic Services").

I'm supposing CLUpdater is for those who want to be the first customer for a
new, er, service.

Is "CLSearch" or anything with the word "Craigslist" found in Add/Remove
Programs?

Start | Run | msconfig | Startup: Is CLUpdater.exe listed here? If so, in
which folder is this file located?

The OP following the exercise I mentioned will most likely find this has
absolutely nothing to do with Craigslist.

What would
> PowerDVD be updating that takes so long?

It might be looking for application file updates and having a bad time
doing so. Dunno. Perhaps now that the OP has found its something to do
with PowerDVD (or whatever it is) he can let loose the magical powers of
google on solving this issue, or followup with another post, or trawl
through

Uh hello, you are the OP. Well there you go, did you do the exercise?

Hello,

I have Cyberlink PowerDVD, and its update program is a dll called
WebUpdate.dll which is activated upon startup every time powerdvd is
started. It checks for updates and notifies the owner if any are available.
Then it shuts down. It can be disabled within the program itself by pressing
the little picture of a hammer and chisel, and going to the "Player" tab and
clearing the box next to "Automatically connect internet for software
update."

That said, CLUpdater is most likely as originally suspected, the Craig's
List updater that PA Bear posted a link to.

It was probably installed automatically by one of the last 2 or more
programs you most recently installed on your computer. For example, Adobe
and other highly reputable software companies are paid by Google to add an
option to install their toolbar when you download and install their flash
player or shockwave programs.

If you don't look before you click, you will install the toolbar when you
install the latest one of these programs. This is becoming a more common
practice, and it is perfectly legal as long as the consumer is given an
option to choose not to install the extra program. Unfortunately, this
option is not always easy to see by those of us who don't always take time
to read before we click.

So go to start - control panel - add or remove programs, and look for an
entry relating to, "Craig's List Updater" or "CLUpdater", or anything that
relates to this unwanted program.

Click on it and choose "remove", and you should have no more problems with
it.
