What is Google Updater? Is it worth for me?

If you have dowloaded any of the goole application, then checkout there is process running in your PC googleupdater.exe by typing service.msc in your run command. Or you can also check by pressing “alt+ctrl+del” to open task manager and click the process tab.

What is Google Updater?

This is a process that google gives you, which is not at all necessuary to be run all the time when you use any of the google application you have downloaded. Then the question is What it do?

Why this is running on my Desktop?

This process informs the user about the new version and updates for the all the google products installed on your PC.


Is it a worthfull to have this process running on my Desktop?

Normally when ever you use any of the google products like picasa or google screensaver you can manually update these applications but google updater on the other hand keeps on running and consuming the system resources like physical memory like RAM all the time.
So, google updater is like all those unwanted tiny applications which keeps on running in the background and making your system slow.
