Eakona Updater

Eakona Updater is a computer program that enters your computer from insecure websites such as file-exchange websites and freeware websites. Our investigation has revealed that Eakona Updater is not a complete product because it does not add any functionally to the system. The truth is that it performs no actions after installation and leaves the system intact; nevertheless, we recommend that you remove it from the computer.

More specifically, Eakona Updater creates one or two executable files, which are located in the ProgramData folder, and a Windows task, which starts every day at a certain moment. It has been observed that the task is created for no clear reason because nothing changes at the time when the task is launched.

We have categorized Eakona Updater as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and want to urge you to remove Eakona Updater from the computer because this program is also flagged as unreliable by many computer security software programs. Due to the fact that the program does not exhibit any distinctive behavior, some of the security programs detect it is a Trojan.

As the name suggests, the program may have been aimed at searching for updates for certain programs. Due to the fact that the program is no longer active, it is impossible to determine the primary goal of the program. It could have been used to collect information about users, including clicks, search terms, and browser settings in order to provide them with some targeted advertisements.

If you have this program on the computer, you should take action to eliminate it so that you do not put yourself in danger. The program does not enhance your browsing experience; nor does it help the computer to operate better. Hence, there is no need for you to keep this useless program.

Below you will find instructions on how to uninstall Eakona Updater or any other program that has it uninstaller in the Control Panel applet. However, we recommend that you rely on a reputable security program. Eakona Updater is installed silently, i.e. without any notification, and, if you have found the program by yourself, it implies that you do not have a reliable security tool that would inform you about insecure programs. Our team recommends using SpyHunter because this program removes Eakona Updater with ease and safeguards the system against Trojan horses, fake anti-virus programs, browser hijackers, rootkits, ransomware infections, and many other threats that can easily enter unprotected systems.
