[aupdate error]

Question: aupdate.exe – how to remove aupdate.exe process ?

There was some problem of speed in My Computer, when I was monitoring the Windows Task Manager’s Process List and I found aupdate.exe. Does any one knows about aupdate ? Is it any system process or user process ? I have been using Norton Antivirus and it has not detected it as virus or worm, so is it related to any spy ware? Please tell me how this file aupdate.exe showed up and how can I remove this aupdate.exe process and will it generate any windows error ? Is there any aupdate.exe removal tool or utility available ?
