User Reviews of the "update_checker.exe"

  • THREATrating from user Vlijmen for file %PROGRAMFILES%\FilesFrog Update Checker\update_checker.exe (Variant: 10503390)

    "This program just randomly appeared on my computer.". Same here; probably came with one of these super-obfuscated installers of free software I sometimes get. As it installed itself covertly, it's by definition crapware (t/m) and to be distrusted and removed.

  • THREATrating from user Siobhan for file %PROGRAMFILES%\FilesFrog Update Checker\update_checker.exe (Variant: 10503390)

    This program just randomly appeared on my computer. I did not download it, and now I have a short cut to it on my desk top. Not sure if its safe. I think my computer is running slower now
