Sysupd ExeHere's how I did it:

1) Write a batch file killsysupd.battop

ren sysupd.exe xxx del sysupd.exe goto top

Start this batch file - it will run continuously.

2) Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to go into Task Manager. Right click on the sysupd process and select Set Priority. Set it to Low. Now find the process for your batch file and set this to High.

3) Highlight the sysupd process and choose End Process.Confirm Yes and the batch file running at high priority should be able to kill the program before it can restart.

4) Switch to the batch file window. When it starts saying file not found you can press Ctrl-C to end the batch file.

Here is more input:

• Install a firewall on your machine. there are free ones you can find easily. using the firewall you can stop the sysupd.exe from doing whatever it is doing online, which was prohibiting you from stopping the service. ctrl+alt+delete to bring up the task manager and stop the service. if you close task manager, I've found the sysupd.exe starts right back up, so don't close the task manager until you've searched for the sysupd.exe on your machine, and deleted it completely. cool.

enjoy.

• Sysupd.exe is a known dialer and also accompanies dpusys.ini usually found on the desktop, but known to other locations as well. To get rid of, end process on sysupd.exe. Make sure that you are set to see all hidden system files and folders. Search your hard drive for the following SYSUPD.EXE and DPUSYS.INI. Delete all found instances of these files. Reboot!

• Delete the sysupd.exe from registry. Download the adaware 6.0 {www.tinyurl.com/tjxr} do a complete scan..delete all infected files. Do a complete chk for sysupd.exe in the whole system. Delete it. It should work out.

• Make sure you check the Startup folder (Start->Program Files->Startup) and look for a wscript file. It is a Visual Basis script file that generates network traffic via Internet Explorer and (I believe) always tries to reinfect the PC.

• I found deleting sysupd.exe difficult. It worked in conjuction with a program called Advertimondo. I tried to delete if from the start-up menu and it wouldn't let me. McAfee viruscan found it but since it contstantly runs it wouldn't let me delete it. I finally went to the registry and did a find on sysupd.exe and deleted all references. One problem is it is resident in the reg start up folder. doing this apparently got rid of it since it no longer runs and I can find no reference to it in task manager, McAfee and the startup menu. The program was also imbedded in Advertimondo. This was really a pain in the neck.

• To end and delete 'sysupd.exe' from WinXP this is what I had to do: run a command prompt; find the sysupd.exe file in C:\windows; RENAME the file to sysupd.old (attempting to delete the file while in memory returns "access denied" error). Once the file is renamed then you may end the process in Taskmgr and once that process is killed you can go back into C:\Windows and delete the file you renamed (sysupd.old), reboot and run SpybotS&D, AdAware, Webroot Spysweeper, etc., to remove any remnants of the bundle that remain.

• Here's what worked for me: locate the directory containing sysupd.exe. Open Task Manager Processes and find sysupd.exe. Run some CPU intensive apps to slow your machine down, this should give you a couple of seconds between killing the process and it restarting, enough to flip over to the directory and deleting the .exe

• I wrote this batch file, started some CPU intensive task, and ran this. pskill sysupd ren c:\windows\sysupd.exe sysupd.old del c:\windows\sysupd.exe del c:\windows\sysupd.old dir c:\windows\sysupd.* In this order it was fast enough to delete it. Remember to clean your registry as well afterwards. No reboot required.

• I found this really hard to get rid of - the process restarts itself as fast as you terminate it in Task Manager and the file is recreated eevry time you rename or delete it.
