- Before you are charged, you will see a notification page. If you don’t already have a data plan, you will be given the opportunity to sign up for one.
- Whenever it is Green, you can surf free of cost, when it turns Red billing will start ie, your data plan comes in picture there.

Most of us use at least one Google software. Be it Google chrome, Gtalk, Google Earth or other.
Yes they are awesome, but it is annoying to see ‘googleupdate.exe’ whenever we check Task Manager.
When all other software gets updated in 5-10 minutes, Why Google needs to update all the time?
If you read security articles frequently, some Android(google supported) Apps reported to Upload privacy data via updates
And if you end it, it will again come and irritate you.

Control Panel -> System and Security -> Task scheduler (win 7)

3) End process in Task Manager
Alt+ctrl+Del -> Task Manager -> ‘Process’ tab -> Right click on ‘googleupdate.exe’ -> End processes
 |

Open ‘Update’ folder -> delete ‘googleupdate.exe’ from there (can delete everything there)
Go back to 'google' folder -> right click ->properties -> Security tab -> edit
In the new ‘Permission and Update’ window

After restart, Check 'Don't show...' thing in the window that will come after start up and click OK.
Done!!
This will surely remove Googleupdate.exe and do all the changes to prevent it from coming.
still after reboot, check these two paths in registry:
(These part is used by Windows to auto run processes on startup)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(Run->Regedit-> go to specified path by expanding each parent 'Entry name')
if you find the Google Update value, simply delete that one, and the process won't be started again on next Windows reboot.
