Are there still programs running on your computer that you really don\u2019t want?&#160; <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re not alone! Most annoying programs now come from legitimate companies who know they\u2019re not really adding value but do it to make share holders happy. There\u2019s always been competition by companies to get their programs installed on the greatest number of computers.&#160; When you notice your computer keeps getting slower you can blame it on these programs.&#160; At least when AOL shipped out millions of CD\u2019s you had the choice of installing it or not<\/p>\n<p>I created my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.winpatrol.com\">WinPatrol<\/a> program to alert me if new programs are being added to the Windows startup procedure. Originally this popular feature was designed to prevent spyware from infecting your system. Now, the biggest problem doesn\u2019t come from spyware or viruses, it comes from well known companies like Apple, Adobe, Google and even Microsoft. These programs have limited value but provide increased visibility and profit for software companies. Totally unrelated companies are encouraged(paid) to install these programs and receive a cash bounty if they can get you to install them. Sometimes it\u2019s done without your knowledge, sometimes it because you don\u2019t carefully read the purpose of every check box during setup.<\/p>\n<p>In the past it was common for WinPatrol fans to report programs which were malicious, designed to steal data, monitor key strokes or create pop up ads. Sadly, the most common complaints I see now are for programs from legitimate companies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google continues to top the list<\/strong> of companies wanting to make sure you have their toolbar and updates of anything else they feel you need, like it or not. A large number of companies are paid to install the Google Toolbar via programs like Adobe Flash,&#160; Cyberlink PowerDVD, IrfanView, PC Tools Spyware Doctor, Threatfire, RealPlayer, ZoneAlarm and more. The fact WinPatrol users are requesting Info on GoogleUpdater implies they have no clue how it was installed on their system.<\/p>\n<p>Google Updater isn\u2019t the only program that our users don\u2019t understand why they have it.
