how do I get rid of GoogleUpdate.exe?

[bart.rod]

Google Update is a Scheduled Task

Look in Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks.

You can disable it or delete it altogether.

It requires the "FORMAT C:" method of uninstall?

Nope...that doesn't work.

I tried it, and restarted the PC with a dos CLI to start the partition process and guess what ? It's still there !!!!

It doesn't appear in msconfig, I only know about it because Comodo started complaining..

Bizarre - I have it twice in my startup list in msconfig. Is it in your services list?

It looks like it's going to take more than just believing google to get rid of it... grrr see here.

Hmmm, that's not good is it.

You can disable the service from msconfig (Start -> Run -> msconfig), and to remove it fully try this.
