You do not want any of them.
Updmgr
Updmgr.exe
"Nightmarish background task which we have found responsible for popup
advertisements, Internet Explorer crashes, boot-up errors, Internet
connection slow-down, and more, and more. Worse, the biggest culprit for
installing this task is the popular file sharing program KaZaA. We do not at
this stage know who wrote this piece of terribleware but from our records it
seems to have started appearing on users’ PCs from February 2004 onward."
Recommendation :
"We have nothing good to say about this task. However, KaZaA users beware :
disabling or deleting this task can prevent the latest versions of KaZaA
from working (there are advertisements-free alternatives to KaZaA, WinMX is
one of them). To all other users we recommend disabling this task on the
Startups tab of The Ultimate Troubleshooter, then restarting your PC and
deleting the “C:\Program File\Common Files\UPDMGR” folder. Finally, delete
this entry from the Startups tab of The Ultimate Troubleshooter."
uqfnhzxo.dll returns nothing in Google either a virus or scumware.
bridge.dll is scumware.
wmactive.exe looks to be a dialer.
