My machine, which is a year old, has Windows XP (home
edition, installed.

I have experienced problems with messages going out from
my machine without my authority. I've been given to
understand that this is a virus!

I have checked my machine using NORTONS but no viruses
have been identified. Secondly, I used "System Restore"
which has stopped the unauthorised use of the mailing
system - I think.

I have tried to download updates from Microsoft, but each
time with out success. There are 49 critical updates
identified, but all attemps to download have faild.

Help and advice would be greatly appreciated

Regards

David
