    Google update helper


    Noticed this on both my Works machines, assumed it was IT.
    Just started my PC and the same, in maintenance history:
    Windows successfully removed Google Update Helper.

    Anyone else seen this? Guess it's in Chrome now?

    @wrogg Same here. The 2 tasks are still in Task Scheduler.

    More than likely, based on what's still there. Which points to possible sloppy housekeeping or reporting of it's actions. Either log both parts or neither. Not half way.

    I did a Google on Google Helper Removal and found nothing about it going away, just old hits from years past.
