A computer running Windows Vista had the error message “Lupdate Mfc Application Has Stopped Working” appear on every startup. Google results suggested the computer was infected by spyware , but after a scan with malware bytes and Microsoft Security Essentials , there was no sign of any infection. Further searches showed that Printer Programs could be the issue. I used MSconfig Startup Options to remove the Samsung Printer Control panel and restarted the computer. This fixed the issue. Further diagnostics prove that is could be a program called “openwares liveupdate” If removing the printer software from startup did not fix the issue
