Remove UpdateChecker by SqueakyChocolate

Update Checker is a potentially unwanted program installed with the Smileys We Love Toolbar and will automatically check for and install new updates for the toolbar if they are found. This action will happen without the user's notice as the user 'agreed' to this when installing the toolbar. The Smileys We Love Toolbar is classified as an unwanted applciation or as adware by numerious anti-virus providers. In addition to the toolbar, the update checker will provide auto-updates for the publisher's other products including California Fonts, WallpaperBackgrounds and IconSmash.

Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it. The main program executable is UpdateCheckerApp.exe. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 5 files. UpdaterLibrary.dll is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.
