I can't even find the xsu.exe file and this is really starting to
drive me crazy. I found it in the windows\prefetch folder and only
there, which I know is strange. Maybe I'm doing something wrong...I
did tell search to look in hidden and system folders. It obviously
has to be somewhere on my drive to be in the prefetch folder, correct?

So far all I've done about this is disabled it from starting up in
msconfig. I've run several different types of scans now and come up
with nothing, but I'll keep trying other products and report back here
if it finds anything. And I'll check out the google link you
provided, thanks very much!
