What the fuck is it doing placing a file called FCUPDATE.EXE in windowssystem?

Then it makes it startup in the registry...

EVERY time Windows is started this application tries to access the Internet. Even if you uninstall File Crawler, it leaves this file and Registry Entry (ie. it tells lies that it completely uninstalls all components). I let it access Internet once and then immediately I went to shut down windows it warned me that a user was connected and if I wanted to continue to shut down.

I really think we all deserve to know what this program does! I have not figured out what it is for. By the name, it appears it is designed to check for updates maybe. But why does it hide itself like this if that is the case? It could be a trojan for all I know. If it is innocent, it still is crappily written piece of shit if the uninstall does not remove.

This deserves more investigation...
I warn you all to stay away from this program until the author makes comment about this.

Well it doesn't sound that bad but hey we like to keep you informed ;-).
