Google Chrome Updater certainly does have a few virus like characteristics.

Every time my interent connection slows (WiFi) I know it's Chrome Updater so I kill it via Task Manager and everthing is good again.

There doesn't apear to be away to turn it off inside Chrome itself and turning off updates via the registry does not seem to stop it.

You can try disabling (not deleting) the startup task. Start > Run > msconfig > Startup > Disable GoogleUpdater.exe

Or try Firefox!

Thanks. I give that a shot.

You could say it's in its DNA

Wouldn't it have to be in its RNA?

There are both DNA and RNA viruses.
