wouldn't normally suspect google but tried the chrome beta yesterday (too buggy so shelved it) but even after reboot zone alarm kept chucking warnings that GoogleUpdate.exe was trying to access the net. cheeky *%&$ers!!

checked msconfig, nothing obvious so just did find files and tried to delete them, the search thing finds 2 copies but when i try to delete them windows explorer crashes!! switfly followed by dr watson!!!

retried and same thing!!!! this is well into extreme naughtiness now! or i've got a virus, which while very unlikely and scan shows nothing is why i'm posting.

anyone else have similar problem or any ideas?

thanks for reading,

mark

GoogleUpdate.exe is a legal file and should be allowed in Zone Alarm -
