They should auto install, as Auto Updates is turned on by default.

Hi Linda,

Have you thought about System Restore?
Depending on your problems and the cause you might be infected with a Virus
and/or lots of Spyware. Before I'd do a Factory Settings I'd try System
Restore and go back before the problems began.

All the best,

Is your computer system ready for Vista?

Linda,
You can read about PUP.a here.

http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_136739.htm

It's possible the generic PUP.a is in your System Restore and yes you will
get it back, but I believe with Avast you can then get rid of it. I just
suggested a System Restore before I'd do a Factory Restore, it's totally up
to you.

IMO I would get rid of McAfee period and install the FREE version of Avast.
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Or the FREE version of AVG
