InstallIQUpdates is W3i.com --its a THREAT They are not tracking your computer with this software. What kind of tracking: - they see if you uninstall the software you installed through them - they must have forced you to install 5-8 different advertiser/malware software recently. - next they also track your software install behaviour Best Advice: uninstall W3i's evil InstallIQUpdater

THREATrating from user Alf for file %PROGRAMFILES%\W3i\InstallIQUpdater\InstallIQUpdater.exe (Variant: 59901)
Since nowhere on the internet anyone can actually tell me what this file does AND its program code in encyrpted PLUS it always has/runs a very high internet activity trace ADDITIONALLY its internet downloading / loading never speeds up or slows down and it never shows any download finish. Its activities make no sense - its as if its only activity is to simply run itself and take up bandwidth. With no clear explanation of its purpose - I RATE THIS AS A THREAT
