Hi,
I have IRON 6.475 installed,and was wondering what the google updater plugin is for?I was under the assumption,that IRON was stripped of all google connection.Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Iron contains no Google Updater. You maybe have Chrome installed parallely?

A clean iron plugins folder on an (nearly) empty OS looks like this:
Maybe you are using any other google app, that has installed this plugin.

I can do that,but it bugs me as to why/how it;s there and what it's actually doing.

I think I can answer this one.
If you've used video chat in gmail ever, you have this updater as well. Gmail uses it to keep the video plugin for gmail up to date.
I'm sure there are other ways gmail can install this updater, but that's the only google functionality I use when in gmail.
I have never installed Gtalk, etc.
