I have current virus software, have the latest version of
IE and I run Ad-Aware on a regular basis :-) I will run
Spybot, forgot about that one
I just did a System Restore to the day prior to the update
and now everything is fine but of course Windows wants me
to install the update again.
Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the help!
