What is SoftwareUpdater.Ui.exe and how to remove it?

SoftwareUpdater.Ui.exe - SoftwareUpdater by Vittalia Installer.


What is SoftwareUpdater.Ui.exe?


SoftwareUpdater.Ui.exe starts every time you open your web browser but this process isn't essential for Windows because it's not a system file. It's a software updater installed by Vittalia, DealPly, Auto Lyrics and other malware. The main update process including Windows Service named SrvUpdater (UpdaterService.exe) has been classified as malware and potentially unwanted software. Comodo Internet Security classifies it as Heur.Corrupt.PE. Trend Micro detects this file as TROJ_GEN.F47V0531. Other anti-virus applications detected possible adware and spyware in SoftwareUpdater.Ui.exe as well. This application is usually installed without direct consent of the user. What is more, it adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run, this is done to avoid any UAC prompts. It means that you probably won't even notice that this process is running in the background and using up your RAM, about 17.58 MB on average. Might be even more when the process downloads and install additional software onto your computer. I recommend you to remove SoftwareUpdater.Ui.exe from your computer. You should scan your computer with recommended anti-malware software as well.

What is MagniPic.exe and how to remove it?

MagniPic.exe - Updater by MagniPic


What is MagniPic.exe?


MagniPic.exe belongs to an application called MagniPic which allows you to magnify Facebook images just by hovering over them. I'm not quite sure whether it's a good application to have or not, maybe someone will find it very useful but there's definitely something everyone has to know before installing it. MagniPic.exe is detected as Adware or PUP by most antivirus programs, for example PUP.Adware.MagniPic. There are a few antivirus engines that flag this application as a Trojan horse because it collects browsing information and then sends it to remote servers without your knowledge and permission. Usually, Trojans do the same thing. When your computer is infected you will notice that words get underlined and hovering over them shows popup advertisements (see the image below). Very often, it comes bundled with PrivitizeVPN and other potentially unwanted applications. It may also cause all web browsers to freeze. Some users noticed that their PCs suddenly became noticeably slower after installing MagniPic. To conclude, it's not essential for Windows and may cause problems. I recommend you to remove MagniPic.exe from your computer and run a full system scan with recommended anti-malware software.

WajamUpdater.exe is an auto-updater for Wajam social search engine. The process runs automatically every time Windows starts and checks for available software updates. At least 8 antivirus engines have detected malware in Wajam Browser Helper Object and WajamUpdater.exe. Usually, these files are detected as adware or PUP (PUP.Wajam, Win32/Wajam.A), some antivirus engines flag it as a Trojan but personally I think such classification is too strict. In my opinion Adware or PUP is enough. Very often Wajam comes bundled with other applications, Delta Toolbar, Search Protect by conduit to name a few. If you found WajamUpdater.exe running on your computer then there's a good chance that you've installed other adware or potentially unwanted programs on your computer.
