Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I never received a notice that my
message was replied too and I haven't been on my desktop.
McAfee Security Center is the program I have.
No, ZA wasn't expired at the time of installation. I used ZA's uninstall
program to make sure everything was deleted.
No, Tea Timer is off.
Just for reference. Update was and had been working up and until I didn't
use the pc for 3 weeks. When I went to turn it on and run windows update is
when this issue started. What happened from the time I turned it off until
then I have no idea. Is there a way to maybe repair Windows with the CD?
