Might be a good time to turn OFF that auto update feature.

Always has been Brett ..always has been ..I got my first ( this one )PC in 98 ...

First time I saw autoupdate kick in ( doze 98II ) was around 4 days later ( to me it behaves as a trojan ..so I cut of the net access ..read all the help files ..bought some books ..talked to some programmers cos I was rusty )..then ..I went round and around the registry till I killed it ..not turned off ..nuked ....;)

Never had trouble with a drive by "feature" from Redmond since...

BTW ..never had a virus /trojan either and I don't run an AV ..and I do spend a lot of time in the darkside..

Learn more by cleaning up after "attempts" than I would if I left Redmond in the chair..

But I wouldn't recommend this way to everyone ...

My box ....My rules
