SOE Updater- can't get rid of it

[LU4sTrooper]

Hi there, I'm at the end of my tether and would really appreciate some help with this matter.

I recently downloaded a trial for SOE's Star Wars Galaxies, the game was pretty poor and I decided not to continue with a subscription and I uninstalled the game via the provided uninstaller.

However the SOE auto updater keeps appearing and begins to download files and 'load graphics' all the time, and also seems to have attached itself to my Mcaffee security centre, appearing whenever I click the system tray icon for Mcaffee, and disabling most of its features.

I would appreciate any help in getting rid of this as it's really bugging me and my family and is making our computer almost unusable

Thanks in advance

Sam

Hi LU4sTrooper, I cant see anything that relates to your problem in your log. I can see some insignificant adware startups in your log but nothing that Ad-Aware or Ewido wouldnt fix. Click on the link in my signature for more information.

This is not a Cyber Safety issue so I am transferring your topic to the Software Forum.
