Important Windows Security Updates not installing

Brand new computer. Dell XPS, Windows 7. Every time I turn it on it is
unable to install updates and wants to shut down and reboot. Won't let me
manually install them. Numerous error message codes are listed in history.
Also have McAfee Security. That seems to be fine.

Was McAfee Security (McAfee Security Center?) preinstalled on the computer
when you bought it? Have you purchased the McAfee application?

Has a Norton application ever been installed?

Turn off, or better yet, get rid of CrapAfee! That's where your problem
lies.
