Default I am now running the Trend Housecall thing

Just a quick question (and oh by the way, I am using Internet Explorer to do this).

I am getting the information (2 and half hours), on the left side of my screen (while the scan is being done).

Is this how long it normally takes?

Thanks much


UPDATE!!!

It didn't take that long. It just finished and found one infection, some cookies and whole bunch of vulnerabilities. I clicked on them to find out what vulnerabilities meant and I have no clue. Just a lot of info to do windows updates.

So I guess I'll do windows updates. The vulnerabilities (lots of them) kept indicating that someone can do remote hosting through my printer ?????????? and a lot of remote hosting vulnerabilities were mentioned.

I have absolutely no clue what this means.

To my knowledge the only people who ever did remote hosting on my computer were the Verizon Security Suite people from Radial Point.

I'd go ahead and do the windows updates , but I suggest doing the custom option so you can at least read what is being updated.

I did have trouble with the SP3 update {my computer hardware didn't like it I guess LOL}- but you can choose to not get that one and still get everything else.
If you go to the Microsoft update website you can get more info on what is important and what isn't, you can check what you want.

I hope this link works for you - it takes me to the right page at MS -
use your Internet Explorer for it -
