Remove Extended Update by Hoolapp

Extended Update is a potentially unwanted application that is triggered to run daily by bypassing Windows User Account Control (UAC).

Extended Update is a software program developed by Hoolapp. The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named updatetask.exe. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 8 files and is usually about 96.51 MB (101,197,001 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 40% of users of Extended Update come from the United States, it is also popular in Brazil and United Kingdom.
