Secure Update is the software updater program which runs in the background of Windows and automatically starts up when your PC boots. It checks for software udpates and automatically downloads and installs them if found. The updater will check for updates remotely and install them based on an internal schedule.

autoupdate.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges. During installation, it (or a shortcut) is added to the user's startup folder which is designed to automatically launch when the user logs into Windows. The assembly utilizes the .NET run-time framework (which is required to be installed on the PC).
