Yes it is a check to see if you have Google Toolbar (a nasty piece of software - I never use it myself).
Bookmark these links:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
They will always have the latest Flash Player builds and NO bundled software. Whenever you see an "update" notice, download the installer from the link(s) and run it (them) offline to update. MUCH safer and hassle free.

Ubd.exe has stopped working Windows 7

UBD.EXE is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services and is part of the icloud control panel app that was installed. During login the system atttempts to load this program and I get the message ubd.exe has stopped working and the program closes.
The result of this program failing to load is that I cannot login to icloud control panel. It just hangs when I try to login.
The problem appears to be related to a group policy setting on the Windows machine. I wrote all the policies and I do not have anything set to block this program. I believe that the program is having an issue with the folder redirection we use at work, re-driecting the appdata folder to a server location. If I take a similar machine and prevent policies from loading, the UBD.EXE loads fine, and iCloud works fine.
As policies are a part of our user environment, giving the suggestion that I turn them off is not an option.
Has anyone else seen this issue, and do you have any recommendations for how to fix it?

Ubd.exe why has it appeared in my Windows 7 start up programmes?

Hello.
As detailed above: What is Apple, Mobile documents internet services ubd.exe and why and how has it appeared all of a sudden in my Windows 7 start up programmes?
Is it safe also?
Any help would be appreciated; as all Google searches seem to relate this to Malware.
Also - I do own an iphone; should I disable ubd.exe at start up? If I do disable this process what will it affect/ impact with regard to the operation of Windows and my iPhone.
Thanks

This suggestion is a perfect example of what's wrong with the majority of software we are trying to use.
Basically, Badunit suggests I "try something" with no clue whether it will work, what the ramifications of doing so are, or any idea why it will work. Even though
our computers are incredibly fast and do literally billions of things in a second, that doesn't mean it's magic or that there is some uncertainty about what will happen.
DON'T JUST TRY STUFF AND SEE IF IT WORKS!!!!
Here's why:
How could you possibly test every scenario in every program, even just the important ones, to see what the effect of "trying something" could be? You can't, so you may get unpredictable behavior later.
Because you aren't aware what any of this stuff is doing, you don't know what may be going on without any indication,. Data corruption??? Who knows.
Even if you are brave, and are willing to "just try it", you can relatively easily get yourself in a situation where the environment becomes a mess and doesn't work, hangs, or crashes. Yes, even from deleting the file. It can happen. If you don't make a backup of your system and test that backup method regularly so you know it works, you might be rebuilding your PC.
You are letting the software author off the hook for documentation he/she should have provided.
I've been developing software since 1978 and I've watched as the quality of applications has slid. Microsoft and Apple write bloated, undocumented, relatively unstable code that only functions as it does because of the speed and efficiency of the hardware masking it.
Badunit even hints that he knows this because he wants me to post how it went. I respect that, and I would happily share any information I get about this process. But, I use this system and I'm not about to make it a guinea pig for the incompetent software developer who neglected to document their software sufficiently to troubleshoot it.
STOP THE MADNESS!!! STOP ACCEPTING THIS AS A VIABLE TROUBLESHOOTING METHOD AND INSIST THAT SOFTWARE COMPANIES DOCUMENT THEIR SYSTEMS!!!
We shouldn't have to do their job for them on our important systems. One of the reasons Apple has an edge on Microsoft is that they have a relatively controlled operating environment. Most software and hardware in an OS X environment comes from Apple and there are strict rules about how to code into the environment. The downside is that you are really at their mercy to fix it.
In this case, Apple has little incentive to make this easy to troubleshoot because they'll tell you it works better on a Mac so you should buy one. But if there IS an Apple guy on here who would be willing to share, could you give us some concrete technical information on ubd.exe, distnoted .exe and iCloudServices.exe and how they work together so that we can troubleshoot and/or make resource decisions?

Ubd.exe stopped working

I upgraded my ipod touch to the 5.1 IOS. after the upgrade everytime I boot up my computer I get a message
"ubd.exe has stopped working". I believe ubd is an apple process. I am running windows 7 ultimate 64. Does
anyone know what this does or why it has stopped running.

Don't throw out crap responses like this if you don't know what you're talking about.
There are no known viruses that specifically attack UBD.EXE
It is part of the iCloud sharing service. There are clearly some issues with it for some users, judging by several posts on this forum, but i haven't seen a for sure fix or explanation for the problem yet.
Make sure all you Apple software is the latest version. Did you jailbreak or unlock a device? Is your computer running *ALL* official versions of the various software packages you have installed (right from Windows on up)?
Anything like this can affect othre software. Did you make any changes just before the problem started? You might be able to roll the changes back using windows.

Then says do u want to run file and save.Browser opens tabs com up with search bar but the page is white blank. I have to go to the search bar and enter what wbsite i want to go to . Then I can pretty much go anywhere. What should I do? should I uninstall everything? can I still get back a older version like 3.6? How can I go about this.

Does if help if you check the security tab in the properties of the file and remove a possible internet protection?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Ubd.exe generationalstorage.dll missing - How to fix?

I just installed the latest iTunes and iCloud control panel on my son's Windows 7 laptop. Now we get an error message on startup relating to ubd.exe, stating that the GenerationalStorage.dll file is missing. There is very little information on the net about this, but it seems to relate to iCloud. The only "solution" I've found is a blog that advises that I turn off automatic Windows updates, though I may have also run across one in a previous search that suggested deleting and reinstalling all Apple software. Has anyone run into this problem and, if so, found a solution?

It sounds like your computer might be infected with a Virus ([http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic446165.html http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic446165.html] )
I suggest the following resources:
[[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware |Is my Firefox problem a Result of Malware]] is a Mozilla Support article with some good tips on avoiding and fighting malware.
To double check your system is clean, do the following (Not official Mozilla advice, just good practice from personal experience)
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)
Double check for all Windows Updates.
If you are still having problems with Malware after that, I would recommend either [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/ http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/], or having your computer cleaned by a professional.

Plugin-container.exe : what is it, why is it necessary, can I delete it

Continued from the "plugin-container.exe : what is it, why is it necessary, can I delete it" thread:
1) When people say Firefox uses up a lot of CPU/Memory, they are telling the truth. Tools like Task Manager and Process Explorer show you how much CPU/Memory Firefox is using up. Stop calling people liars when they say Firefox is using up X Memory. Stop making baseless accusations like "you're running other programmes that are causing your CPU to skyrocket and Firefox to freeze". Task Manager and Process Explorer don't lie. Take yourself off the thread because you're not helping anyone, you're creating anger and hatred, you're basically trolling. If you have no valid advice to offer, keep your mouth shut and stay away instead of launching into the "you're a liar" nonsense.
2) Stop typing in caps
3) Refrain from using profanity and ad hominem attacks
4) If you claim you're abandoning Firefox for another browser, fine: now get off the board and go away instead of posting inflammatory hatred against Mozilla since you're no longer using Mozilla
5) Stop attacking and/or ignoring the advice of Mozilla representatives like Morbus
6) Morbus: the Firefox Safe-Mode advice you frequently dispense is the most rejected advice because most people do not want to mess with their browsers, especially people who are not not knowledgeable about safe-mode, add-ons, disabling, etc. I fully agree that people must learn how to diagnose the problems on their own and find solutions on their own, but not all people are capable of learning how to do that. Computers are easy for many people, but not all people. The Safe-Mode solution appeals to a '''minority '''of people who are comfortable with picking apart their browser and picking apart other things to find solutions, not the majority, who fear making things worse.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today 6/22/2010

7) Stop telling people to remove add-ons and plug-ins and scripts. Firefox was made specifically to enable to build their own browsers. Firefox was made for the purpose of allowing people use all the add-ons and plug-ins and scripts they wanted. No other browser offers that range of add-on/plug-in/script support. Removing the add-ons and plug-ins and scripts eliminates the purpose of Firefox. If Mozilla representatives want to insist that removing add-ons and plug-ins and scripts are the solution, then Mozilla is telling us that its browser is no different from IE or Chrome, in which case Mozilla has given us a reason to stop using Mozilla.

Ubd.exe - entry point not found

This error has persisted too long - if it is related to iTunes Apple should have fixed it by now!
Every time the computer boots up this error shows: ubd.exe - entry point not found
The procedure entry point_Block_object_assign coudl not be located in
the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll.
Windows 7 Home Premium
Service Pack 1
64-bit
iTunes 12.01.26
But the problem started in earlier versions and has persisted.

Hello Largosteve
If you are getting that error then it has to do with issues with the Apple Mobile Device Support driver, so the best method to handle this is to remove iTunes and its associating software and then install iTunes again. It article below does point to Mobile Me but will still help.
"CoreFoundation.dll was not found" or " Apple Application Support is missing" alert

The exe files are not responding on my computer. I can't get to firefox.exe - what can I do?

I downloaded a 7-zip file from CNET and it didn't do what I wanted and so I uninstalled it. However, all the "exe" files on the computer are now not accessible. I can get to Firefox thru a "shortcut" on my desktop for the local newspaper. The e-mail is working thru my yahoo account only. I purchased PC MightyMax and that didn't do anything for me. I've tried to restore the computer to yesterday or earlier and the restore window will not come up either.

In some cases, all EXEs being broken can indicate a malware infection.
Do you get a specific error message when you try to start a program?
I'm concerned that PC MightyMax itself might be an infection you need to remove, but let's come back to that issue.
