At "AnswersThatWork.com (
http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist_w.htm )
it says:
Microsoft's Windows Update
Critical
update loader. This task
will only
appear in your Task List
if you
installed the Microsoft
Critical Update
Notification (via a
Windows Update in
most cases). In addition
to the well
publicised "Invalid Page
Fault"
problems with WULOADER,
two other
downsides are that WULOADER by
default accesses the
Microsoft website
every 5 minutes and, when
it is
running, ScanDisk and
Defrag will
restart endlessly and will
not be able
to complete.
Recommendation :
De-install Windows
Critical Update
Notification via the
"Add/Remove
Programs" icon in the
Control Panel.
You are not missing
anything. Simply
run a Windows Update once
a month
to see if there are some
critical
updates you should
install. Note,
before you install a
critical update,
check with us first to see
if that update
is "safe", otherwise, as has
sometimes happened with
Microsoft
updates, your PC could end up
critically disabled.
