Tweetdeck: Is wyUpdate safe?

by

I recently upgraded tweedeck. When I close tweetdeck now I get a UAC prompt from wyUpdate program by wyDay:

enter image description here

I can’t find anything official on this. Is this legitimate? Can someone point me to some official twitter or tweetdeck source that mentions this?

It’s just strange I can’t find anything official on this anywhere.

Answer

I do believe it is legitimate. I get those updates from time to time as well. I do notice significant changes to my tweetdeck after it updates the program and I don’t get any residual slow downs or other changes to my computer.

Here’s some information about wyUpdate (wyDay):

EDIT:

Also, since the TweetDeck release notes for v2.0.1 mentions wyUpdate by name, I think we can decisively conclude that it is legitimate software.
