Hey man , thanks 4 posting but this post is hard to read when using Mozilla it is doubled up.

Hi,

I use Firefox 6. There is no problem. What do you mean: "it is doubled up"?

Just what is the toolbarupdaterservice.exe? Is it necessary. It causes my CPU to constantly spike to 100% and then drop to 0% every few seconds. If it is adware of some sort, how do I get rid of it?

It's not necessary.
If uninstaller doesn't work, try RegRun (http://www.regrun.com). Download is for free.
It will fix your problem.

Go to Add/Remove Software. Uninstall the StartNow program (you'll see it in the list) this obviously is some sort of IE add on that installed itself during a 3rd party software installation.

Thank you, martinex. I uninstalled that program and the spiking stopped.

I done what you said martinex and it worked fine

Rick on Tue, 11th Oct 2011 17:02


Thanks martinex! Uninstalling StartNow solved the problem immediately.

Wonder where this program came from?

Usually it's installed with 'free" software as a bundle.

Read carefully "License agreement" before install free stuff.

I just uninstalled that toolbarupdaterservice.exe thru add/remove programs. I have yet to reboot – but it's gone for now. Thanks.

I see one person saying to use regRun but my advice is to NEVER NEVER to use any registry cleaner tool!

Registry cleaners can break vital references in your registry which you may not notice for some time. A lot of times they simply delete references that do not point to a file. However references dont have to point to files and this can break your system.

here is a guide to backup and restore your registry

backup regularly with a scheduler. restore when needed.,

I uninstalled the program from Add/Remove programs and that did the trick. Thanks for the post.

This helped. I saw that process using up so much memory. I went to the directory and deleted the folder and it has not come back.

Wish it were all that easy.

Thanks this helped.

Toolbarupdater keeps taking over my memory as described above, I tried to remove/uninstall it but it simply isnt on the list of programs… how else would it be listed?

James on Wed, 1st Feb 2012 05:44


Hi martinex

Followed the instructions and it worked great, if only everything computer related was this easy.

Good share
James
