My Norton AntiVirus program quarantined a file called
msupdater.exe telling me that it has a trojan horse that
cannot be fixed. It recommends that I delete the file and
replace it with a clean copy. I cannot find a copy. I
looked on the Windows CD that came with my system (Dell),
and even on the computers at my office just to see if I
could find it.

My computer has not searched for Windows updates in a long
time so I suspect I should have this file. Can anyone
shed some light on this and possibly tell me how I can get
a clean copy of this file?

Thanks,
Eric
