sysupd.exe is InternetAntispy foistware. First make sure you can see hidden files use this link for help.
»www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html
Close ALL browsers and chat programs (e.g. Yahoo, MSN, ICQ)run hijackthis and place a check next to the following:

and click fix. Reboot into safe mode (press f8 during reboot); find and delete the following
File:
C:\WINDOWS\sysupd.exe
That should take care of that, it's wise to do a scan with Ad-aware and Spybot after clean up with Hijackthis.

| I think its gone. It does not show up anymore in any place.
What I did was and I know this is not a good habbit. I ended the sysupd.exe task 2 times then it give you like a 5 second grace period. In that time you must delete the sysupd.exe file under c:/windows. It took me a few times but it worked. Then after that is gone I went into the regestry and got rid of all other sysupd.exe
Then for the _update.dat file that I could not get rid of. I acutally found a virus program that it works with.
Iam on a 30 day trail of it. I forgot the name I will repost when I get home. But Norton 2004 could not pick it up nor the online house call. All with updated files. BOClean now works great at my motion detector.

@speakeasy.n
| Don't make me laugh. sysupd.exe doesn't give up that easily. If you haven't invested two straight hours of sniffing around for the other versions of it then it will likely come back, if it hasn't already.
1) It will reinstall itself on reboot from one of the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run items. But it will reinstall it if it's not there if the program is running.
2) It will reload itself if you try to cancel it from the Task Manager. You can right-mouse click and lower its priority to the lowest setting, though.
3) If you rename it in place (in the Windows folder, for example) it will make another copy of itself. It then appears to try to prevent you from deleting either and without any trickery in the file attributes.
4) There's usually four or five copies of it lying around the hard drive, one in Temporary Internet Files, one in the user's default area, one in Windows and one or two as Prefetch versions (look for *.pf).
What I do is lower its priority, remove all copies but the one running in the Windows folder and then update the registry setting, leaving that Run item in place but renaming it to something like sysupd.exe.CantFindMe. (If you delete the entry, it will just try to heal itself.) Quickly reboot in Safe DOS mode with the F8 thing on restart. In the DOS mode, navigate to the Windows folder, delete the program and then create a c:\windows\sysupd.exe folder and create a file in it. Exit DOS and restart the system. It may try to do that Run but it will just harmlessly display your folder that you've created. Look again across the hard drive and in Task Manager for any other copies, deleting the file if it's there. Reboot again and you should be clean. | |

| Re: sysupd.exe Here is a script to fix/get rid of it. Copy and paste into notepad. Save as RemoveSysUpd.cmd. Runs on Windows NT/2000/XP. Don't have Windows 9x or ME to test it. Note on those DOS based OSs you will need to make it .BAT not .CMD.
You will need DELTREE.EXE and PSKILL.EXE.
Good Luck.

echo Where 35 is the process ID of sysupd.exe. Open task manager and look
echo for the ID number and then restart this script.

I got BOClean and a nice AV protecting me now.
I have to admit its a nasty one. But a nasty Dead one.

| I was able to get rid of it rather quickly.
You can't delete a running process. You can't end this process because it restarts itself. You can't hack it out of the registry to prevent it from loading because it will put itself back in.
What you can do is to modify permissions on that file. Since it runs under your username (not as "SYSTEM"), simply deny yourself permission to Write/Execute and reboot. You no longer have permission to run the file, thus it won't run, and it can now be deleted. Delete it, and THEN hack it out of the registry.
Here's the step-by-step on modifying this permission. Perform this procedure at your own risk, and make darned sure what file you're modifying permissions on! If you screw up your system, it's your fault, not mine. That said...
- Start > Run > C:\WINDOWS (or, in Win 2000, C:\WINNT) [enter]
- Locate sysupd.exe and right-click. Select properties.
- Click the "Security" tab. Click the "Advanced..." button.
- This file is probably inheriting its permissions from those established for the C:\WINDOWS folder. Uncheck the "Inherit permissions" box.
- A dialog box will pop up. Click the "Remove" button. The permissions field should now be blank.
- Click the "Add" button and type in your user name in the appropriate field. Press OK.
- Click on your username that now appears in the permissions list and click "Edit".
- Check the "Full Control" box. Then scroll down and un-check "Traverse Folder / Excecute File". This should be the second checkbox down from the top, or so. "OK" out of everything now, and reboot. | |

| Yeah, I just had a run-in with the evil sysupd.exe
I read all of the above fixes, and none of them are a global fix for this. My reccomendation to anyone who also runs into this worm is this:
Reboot in safe mode, then run a whole bunch of spyware removal tools. Also, do a basic search of your computer and registry for anything with "sysupd.exe" in the name. For whatever reason, none of the spyware tools I used even noticed C:\Windows\sysupd.exe nor many other files related to it. To be honest, I'm not even sure if anything that the spyware tools found was directly related to the sysupd problem, but it never hurts 
In any case, safe mode doesn't let sysupd run itself, so you shouldn't have any problem deleting everything related to it in safe mode. Just make sure you get it all. Good luck! | |

bobr_66062
@65.66.x.x
| I am not a regular member of this forum. However, I just got rid of the sysupd.exe file relatively quickly, so I thought I would share my experiences.
1. Go into RegEdit and search for sysupd.exe. I found several occurrences, mostly in the ...\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run tree. I deleted all occurrences of the file in the registry.
2. I went to C:\ and did a file search for *sysupd* and found the C:\WINDOWS\sysupd.exe as well as C:\WINDOWS\PreFetch\SYSUPD.EXE-########.pf (where "########" is some string of digits ... your actual numbers will probably be different).
3. Once you delete the SYSUPD.EXE-########.pf file, then you can kill the sysupd.exe task via the Task Manager, and it won't come back.
I rebooted and everything seems fine. At least, that was my experience.

Anyways, I tried bobr_66062's resolution, and it worked. I didn't even have to do the last step, because after i deleted it the one occurence out of the reg, and i only found the prefetch within windows directory, it seemed to disapear altogether. Thanks everybody. | |

@speakeasy.n
| Re: sysupd.exe
When you try to kill the process it just comes back and all the registry entries you deleted get recreated when it restarts, it can not be deleted because there is a file lock.
This is what you do, find the executable (search for sysupd) it may return many entries but only one is in use, in your %systemroot% folder (c:\winnt or c:\windows). Delete all but the one in %systemroot% cause your system won't let you. (This will work on NT based systems, like 2000 or XP that have NTFS as the file system because it implements file security, other operating systems or 2000 and XP with FAT32 will have to look for other options) Then right click on the remaining sysupd and choose properties, then select security tab and uncheck the box "Allow inheritable permission from parent to propagate to this object" on Win200, on XP there will be something similar, you might have to click advanced to see this option. After you uncheck it you get a box asking you to copy existing permissions, remove them or cancel. Choose remove, then add "everyone" group, and add "system" for both you will select the checkbox to deny "full control", then click apply/ok you might get a confirmation box because you're locking everyone out from accessing this file so the automatic restart of sysupd.exe will not work and get "access denied". Click OK on the confirmation box, at this time even you should get "access denied" when trying to run this file, you can give it a try... After you did that everyone and the system will be denied access, at this time launch task manager (taskmgr.exe) and kill the sysupd.exe process, if you did everything right it will not come back. Optional, at this time you can clean out the registry entry under LOCALMACHINE/software/microsoft/windows/run but if there is no sysupd.exe to execute it won't matter. Now that the process has been successfully killed (verify in Task Manager process list) you can right click on the sysupd file again and select properties, again on security tab and for everyone group select Allow Full control checkbox, leave the system account as is, and click apply/ok . Now delete the last sysupd file and because it is not in use anymore the system will allow you to delete it.
And now you're done. Reboot is not required.
As careful as I'm with things like this, it somehow got on my computer too, that's why I'm writing removal instructions. If some one has any idea, even a guess please reply with your comments. I will try to look for your comments for the next month, Thanks! MK | |

@suscom.net
| Ok, here's how I had to do it to remove this wretched piece of *#$%&, I'm running windows 2000 on these machines:
1)install spybot
2)reboot into safemode (press f8 at that little bar that goes across the window before the splash screen)
3)edit the registry, do a search for "sysupd", it'll likely be in /Hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/windows/current_version/run/ Delete it.
4) close regedit, and press the restart key on the computer, to to a cold reboot. (if you don't have a reboot key, then hold down the power button for 10 seconds)
5) restart in safe mode again, and delete the file c:/winnt/sysupd.exe
6) run spybot/adaware again, and it'll remove some remaining parts of it.
7) restart normally.
Hope this helps!

@army.mil
| Solution to Remove sysupd.exe and dpusys.ini 1. Boot into Safe Mode (f8 whilst booting up)
2. Edit registry and search for sysupd*.* and dpusys*.* Search in lower and uppercase. Delete any keys that you find.
3. Use Explorer to search your hard drive for sysupd*.*, SYSUPD*.*, dpusys*.*, & DPUSYS*.*. Delete any files that the searches find. You'll usually find about 4 or 5 dpusys.ini scattered through your harddrive(this is the nasty script that continues to spawn the sysupd.exe file).
4. Reboot and that little nasty should be gone. As far as I know, other then sucking up virtual memory resources and sometimes affecting shutdown, it will go out to web and download more pop-up ads and advertisements. Malware/Spyware in my opinion is WORSE than spam!
Good luck to you all!! | |

@bellsouth.net | Having the same problem as you. Searched entire system and files for references to sysupd.exe and found nothing. It appeared after the Sasser virus.
This process cannot be deleted. | |

| That previous batch file almost worked for me but after copying pskill to winnt directory I modified the batch file a littlebit.. run this a few times from cmd prompt and it will kill the process and then remove the file.
@echo off
pskill sysupd.exe
del sysupd.exe
echo.
echo.
echo Usage: RemoveSysUpd 35
echo.
echo Where 35 is the process ID of sysupd.exe. Open task manager and look
echo for the ID number and then restart this script.
echo.
echo Script requires DELTREE.EXE and PSKILL.EXE.
echo.
echo Copy this script, DELTREE.EXE and PSKILL.EXE into WINNT or WINDOWS
echo run the script from a command prompt. When it is done you should look in
echo task manager and see that sysupd.exe is not running. You may now delete
echo its entry from RUN in the registry.
echo.
echo HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
echo HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
echo.
echo DELTREE is part of MS-DOS 6 or Windows 9x. PSKILL is part of the PSTOOL
echo kit from www.sysinternals.com.
echo.
echo.

| Re: sysupd.exe Hi! I experienced the same problem yesterday. It appeared that this program installed VX2.BetterInternet and other spy & adware (keenvalue, favoriteman, Euniverse,etc.) on my computer. Ad-aware 6 deleted the related files, but they kept coming back. It was really frustrating. I tried to stop the process in taskmanager, but sysupd.exe kept running again. This prevented me from deleting sysupd.exe in my c:/winnt directory.
To fix the problem, I created an empty sysupd.txt file in another directory and then renamed it to sysupd.exe. Then, I ended the sysupd.exe process in task manager and moved my new dummy sysupd.exe file into the c:/winnt directory (you need to see where this program is on your computer). I had to do this quickly, because my computer somehow kept starting sysupd.exe back up.
Once I made sure that sysupd.exe was no longer running, I also found that I had to delete this program from my startup programs. Since I am using winnt, I was able to download a freeware program called autoruns.exe that showed me what programs run on my computer at startup. I deleted sysupd.exe from this list. I found that it was necessary to stop the sysupd.exe process before removing it from my startup list; otherwise, it kept reappearing in my list of startup programs.
Maybe someone can suggest a better solution, but this one worked for me. Once you've solved this problem, run your spy/adware remover again for any applications that VX2 may have installed.
Good luck! There should be something illegal about this sort of thing. | |

Mcalester, OK
| Just had this same worm on a coworkers computer. What I did was first ran find to find sysupd. This found the .pf file and sysupd.exe. Deleted the .pf file then opened task manager stopped sysupd.exe then deleted it.
After that I went through the registry searching for sysupd and deleted everything with that, it was like 2 files and 1 folder.
That seemed to have fixed it all, only took about 15 minutes.
My question is does anyone know how this worm affects the computer itself? | |

| This program is relentless. I got rid of it over a week ago and it just now came back. Does anyone know how it originally gets on their machine? If I can figure out what site I visited to get it in the first place I can simply stay away from that site. | |

1 edit | I noticed this thing about an hour ago, and am trying all these numerous fixes for it, and have so far been unable to get rid of it. Going to reboot and see if SpywareRemovalHelper's fix fixes my problem.
Edit: It worked, thanks. I was unable to delete the Sysupd.exe files (4 of them) even in Safemode, but I was able to remove the dpusy stuff and the sysupd.ini stuff. After reboot, I had to reinstall Windows Media Player, but so far no problems and I can finally hear music again. | |

Pahoa, HI
2 edits | Re: sysupd.exe How do you know WHAT FILES to DELETE??? You refer to the sysupd.ini "stuff" and the dpusy. "stuff" what exactly is the stuff. I need to know WHAT files to delete. I can't even FIND the sysupd.exe in my registry or in safe mode registry. So I need to know what other file names to look for. Where are you finding this out?
Thank you,

Westlake Village, CA | So does anyone know how this is spreading? I was quite surprised when I got it last week since I'm behind a SPI firewall with XP Pro, NAV2002,v8 and with IE6,SP2 set on 'medium' security. I just don't want to be surprised again. | |

Pahoa, HI
| I've got it to! All the way here on The Big Island of Hawai'i.
I was referred here by Computer Geeks thank goodness as it is the MOST I have been able to find on this topic.
I need to get it off my computer too. Norton did not find it, nor did Ad Aware prevent it. Trend Micro found it on my computer and yet it can't delete it or clean it. I tried my registry, it does not show up there. Am going to go try to find it and delete it in SAFE MODE but after reading how someone had no success there either, I am perplexed as I don't understand ALL and EVERYTHING that people are writing in this thread. I am printing out ALL of these posts and am going to try it ALL HOPING that something works! Who ever made this virus trojan/worm is a real jerk, on my blank Internet Explorer extra screen that comes up everytime I open up one I get a noise of laughter too from this virus. Yeah they sure got me. I HOPE I can be like some of the few success posts here and get rid of it.
I AM going to TRY!!!
Thank you for all your posts everyone as I had no idea where to go or what to do. I hope something in here works!
WISH ME LUCK!
Aloha

| I got rid of it yesterday (though I was unable to delete the actual Sysupd.exe files) , but it is now back on and I can't seem to disable the process even though I'm following the same steps I did yesterday.
It disabled my Windows Media Player, so I had to reinstall it yet again.
This thing is getting pretty annoying... | |
