Hi jing014

wuauclt.exe is the process that manages Automatic Updates for Windows, if it's the legitimate file located in the C:\Windows\system32 folder. WUAUCLT.EXE-399A8E72.pf is the Prefetch file for wuauclt.exe, legitimate as well.

Are you experiencing problems of some kind?

 

ahhh... i c...

i was just wondering.. i saw the process at the task manager and i got curious and searched for it in the internet, then i saw that it might be a worm... so i asked you guys here..

thanks!

 

You're most welcome
