this is probably more important than most folks realized...

the best offense is the best defense. These MS patches are crucial and are usually found by volunteers that check the patches to keep MS honest.

if folks don't have their MS autoupdates turned on. Please go to the MS site to run a test to see if it is secured...

when folks talk about hackers, viruses, threats, our browsers make us more vulnerable than email these days....especiallyy since a lot of us are on high speed...

thanks Roger,

Roger that....

here is the site to MS update. Very easy to use:

click on "express" and they'll do the work for you.

do you save a log file of your AV programs?

it's a long list...open that and look for anything that resembles MS update in the path...

if that is included, more than likely your AV has recognized that as an "intruder"

you can delete that or move that to the "safe" zone..

it might also be in your anti-spy softwares...

if all else fails, uninstall your AV/Anti-spy completely include removing them from your registry

then, re-install them...(there are other ways but this is what I'd do first)

To turn off my Zone Alarm I just click on the task bar, or is it the system tray?? icon for it and a little menu pops up where I can choose actions to do.

You have to turn it back on, or like with the MS updates you need to do a system restart so my ZA starts up again as usual.

If yours doesn't have that option I think just open it and find the close or exit button - just while you get the updates.
