Hello Alias
I regularly clean up my computer before updating. This is the one time per
month I run a full system scan BEFORE updating. Being a software engineer
myself i know of problems with bugs and have protected my network as good as
possible. I also have updated two other machines on the same network, both
without problems. I also tried all the hints the helpful MVP's and other
users gave, they just did not work. A bug is something that does not work
correctly and such things just happen in software. Finding a bug in an update
that should work for hundreds of different installations is quite a challenge
and thats what i meant in my first memo.
Look at all the entries concerning the error number 0x8DD0004. Quite a few,
and do you frankly believe that all are due to virus problems. How nice of
you and how nicely wrong you are!
