I have twice tried to download the 2 latest critical update for Windows ME -
KB88813 and KB891711. Each time the start up hangs when McAfee Virus Scan is
loaded (sometimes with warning message from McAfee). I also have Zone Alarm
protection but settings allow updates. I have had to restore to pre
installation to run my machine but am concerned about critical update
absence. Any advice?

Have you tried turning off the anti-virus and Zone Alarm long enough to get
the update? Remember to turn them back on after your done.

My version of Zone Alarm had an anti-Virus on it. Zone Alarm suite I
think it is called.
