  When you load Maxthon cloud it must look for the Mxup.exe file. When it doesn't find it the program generates a new Mxup.exe file.

  You're right Joe, it does create a new MxUp file, but that's because you're installing a new browser and it's up to you to disable the new MxUp file.

  So....Yes it does work!!

  After I shut off Maxthon Update in the task manager, I deleted the MXUP EXE.  It tries different things to try and get me to update.

  I just dismiss it. If I ever need to install Maxthon 4.4.8.1000 again, I have it in a folder. The MXUP file does not come back on mine

  It won't Don, unless you re-install the browser.  : )

  Strange because it keeps generating a new one every I load Maxthon Cloud. I only reinstalled it once, This is when I open it to play WGT.. Any Idea why it does it on me and not Don? Could it be that I also have or had Maxthon 5 on my PC before?

  Hmm, might be worth trying to disable the update task in the task scheduler then.

  That is what I think I need to do. But i was looking in the wrong place. I was looking for Maxthon Update in  Task Manager not Task Scheduler. I found it and disabled it about 5 minutes ago, (Edit) Yes that was it, Now the MXup.exe file does not come back.

  Good, glad that worked.

  Ironically for me, if I have the Task Scheduler update and the MxUp file both enabled, then check for updates in Max 3, it tells me there is no update available and that I have the latest version of Maxthon (3.5.2.1000), hahaha, I'll never understand these pesky machines!  : )

  I disabled mine a long time ago. Go to Windows Adminstrative tools> Task Scheduler>Task Scheduler Library..  Disable Maxthon updating
