I get this message everytime I start up my computer. It says missing file C:\Program Files\Common Files\updmgr/updmgr.exe . This is the error message I recieve "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. " I have no clue of what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

You're seeing an error from a spyware/adware program (updmgr.exe) that
happens to be written using Visual C++.

You need to take some steps to clean and secure your computer. See

I get this same message and it seems to be stemming from kazaa as I was trying to uninstall it at the time. I also noticed that it seems to affect my system restore and my msconfig apps as well. If there is a correction for this it would be greatly appreciated as I don't have a programmer and I am not that bad with easy instructions
