What is autoupdate.exe?
JetClean Updater (autoupdate.exe) 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.
Overview
autoupdate.exe is an auto-starting process that used the Windows Task Scheduler service to load when the user logs into Windows (sometimes this is required to bypass the UAC protection). It is installed with a couple of know programs including JetClean published by BlueSprig, JetClean from BlueSprig and JetClean by BlueSprig. The file is digitally signed by BlueSprig which was issued by the VeriSign certificate authority (CA).
