I just found out I had google updater on my computer.
Did a search and found it was to update Google Pack which I don't ever remember having or downloading.

How would this get on my computer? Should I leave it? I discovered it in viewing the history in my Norton Internet Security tonight. :shrug:

The note on it said Norton had created a path for it to update Google Pack.

I did not even know I had it. Pretty careful about what I download.

1. It loads with a number of installs
Firefox, Real player, i forget what all, but there are a lot.

When i build an image at work I invariably don't uncheck the box that installs it on at least one app.... I always get rid of it via control panel.

2. I did the same.
When I uninstalled, it said any programs I had used it to download would have to uninstalled separately. I have no clue if I did, cause I did not even know I had it. :shrug:

Thanks for the response.
