Because you have not been explicit in your knowledge about updater.exe,
and because SM uses an automatic updating application, I performed a
simple search on my Windows PC and discovered 2 different occurrence of
the updater,exe program.
1. Is in the SeaMonkey Program folder.
2. Is in the Google Earth program folder.
Both files have one character difference in their names.
1. "updater.exe" is found in the SM program folder.
2. "Updater.exe" is found in the Google Earth download folder.
There are many more iterations of this application file. You will have
to locate the specific file in question on your hard drive. Once
located you need to right click the file and select properties. From
there you can determine who created it and decide if you want to trust
the file to perform on your system.

Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for your reply. I will follow up on your advice the
next time that the notification appears on my screen.

You may have a look NOW about all your updater.exe programs present in
your disk.
and tell us where you find them.
Hi,
A search reveals no updater.exe, but the following "updater" :
documents and settings, file folder
" " " " "
programs & files, cms products (a back-up software company)
" " " , SeaMonkey application
" " " , " configuration settings
" " " , Adobe reader API file
Thanks,
Mort
Mort,
If those are the only updater files you have you are safe using them.
each associated updater file listed is an automatic update checker that
connects to its server looking for recent updates for the respective
program.
If you want to go further with this research use Windows Explorer to
navigate to the respective folder containing the update file. When you
find it right click once on the file, then scroll down to properties and
left click once. From here you can read specifics on who made the file,
its association with Microsoft, date when created and a lot of other
interesting info to help you decide to use it, or not.
