User Reviews of the "applicationupdater.exe"

  • SAFErating from user a for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Application Updater\ApplicationUpdater.exe (Variant: 514687)

    GOOD

  • THREATrating from user JakeNo (Variant: 501010)

    This is spyware, as per http://pdfforge.mybrowserbar.com/terms.html , it *does* collect and report information. Most mark this as "safe" because its inclusion in software (such as "PDF Creator"/Pdfforge, among others) is explicitly mentioned. Regardless, still not "safe" as it is indisputably still spyware.

  • THREATrating from user Truth Man for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Application Updater\ApplicationUpdater.exe (Variant: 3578)

    If it is "safe" then it should be clear what it is and what it does and you would be able to find some info on Spigot Inc. on sites other than virus warning sites like this one.
