Scroll down to WkUfind.exe
>From the article:
Microsoft Works 2002 PictureIt! update detector. Another auto-update feature
that you should turn off ! If you are not convinced, then this from a Microsoft
document should convince you : "You may notice that when this feature runs your
computer may freeze or the program may try to update itself.... You may also
notice that the computer will try to dial your Internet Service Provider,
connect to the Internet, and download any updates."

Recommendation :
Turn the feature off. Auto-updating is the worst feature to ever have ON in any
computer program. (1) Open PictureIt!. (2) Open a picture. (3) Choose the
Tools \ Options menu option. (4) Clear the "Check for updates online" option.
(5) Close PictureIt!. (6) Reboot your PC. If that still does not get rid of
WKUFIND, then also disable it in The Ultimate Troubleshooter.
