    wolfgang, it would be best if we saw a log so that items were seen in context.


    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro.../winupdte.mspx
    Spupdsvc.log

    It might be necessary for a software update to run certain processes after restarting the computer. This is handled by the file Spupdsvc.exe, and its actions are logged in %windir%\spupdsvc.log. It documents whether every process that it was required to run was properly executed. Problems are logged using standard Windows error codes.

    Neither file ??? What about amcompat.tlb?

    The F-Secure pages lists amcompat.tlb as a file from Aureate:
    The following is a listing of all software known to install the
    Aureate spy on your system. The Aureate spy keeps track of your
    Internet activities and sends a report to Aureate every time you
    open your browser. The Aureate spy places the following files on
    a Windows machine. [It is not known, yet, to affect Macintosh or
    Linux machines.]


    The installed files are some or all of:


    adimage.dll
    advert.dll
    advpack.dll
    amcis.dll
    amcis2.dll
    amcompat.tlb
    amstream.dll
    anadsc.ocx
    anadscb.ocx
    htmdeng.exe
    ipcclient.dll
    msipcsv.exe
    tfde.dll
