I have automatic updates on. the last update
was"windows malicioussoftware removal tool (
(KB890830) when i installed it, it caused my
computer to crash but i wasn't aware that was the
cause, at the time. . .after finally getting it up and
running again (used systgem restore) got the
update icon in the tray again so installed it again.
computer crashed again. . used system restore
again . . have update icon in tray again. . this time
i checked the custom install box, unchecked the
box for the update, got the window telling me
checked items will not be installed, closed
window but the update icon keeps coming back. .
how can i cancell out the update and remove the
icon from the task tray . . .
hope this wasn't to lengthy. . . thanks for any help with this. .

Could you please post which antivirus/security software that is
installed ? Then I'll tell you how to get rid of that icon <w>
