Remove Internet Updater by Parallel Lines Devel...

Also known as WebShield, Internet Updater is a potentially unwanted software program. It is bundled by third party download manager including the Conduit Toolbar. It connects to the domain pullupdate.com to download various software updates as well as command data. This adware program injects advertisements with its affiliate ad providers in order to serve a number of ad types including banner, inline text links and popups. These ads are aimed to promote the installation of additional questionable content including web browser toolbars, optimization utilities and other products, all so the publisher can generate pay-per-click revenue.

The most used version is 2.6.57, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The main program executable is InternetUpdaterService.exe. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 3 files and is usually about 1.42 MB (1,486,812 bytes). InternetUpdaterService.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.
