Hi Roger
When i go into Microsoft IE i always get loads of popups,
and screen freezes, even though i have spybot and ad-
aware.
In Windows Updates, there is no "examine and recommend".
When i click "Review & Install", i get popups and screen
freeze for a bit.
It shows me there are (5) windows xp.... and (1) driver
update.
None of the (5) are critical updates.
I hope you can help.


Hi Blondie
What happens if you let it examine and recommend
instead of show you the history ?

in message Part II
Ive just got into Updates.
Checked Installation History (1st time ever)
It seems on the 29th August there are several (35)
security updates marked 'Failed'.
What do I do to get these installed?
 
What I refered to as examine and recommend is actually a link
in the main window to scan for updates.

It sounds like your IE is badly hijacked.
I am going to refer you to the MVP that is the font of IE info
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm
is Sandi's page with a check for IE parasites link on it.
her repository of IE info begins at
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer
and she inhabits IE newsgroups if you cannot ferret it out
based on the info at the website.

I will not be much help for you as, knock on wood, I have
never had my IE hijack nor caught a virus on a machine,
so I am not much for identifying which you may have.
