IAM TRYING TO UPDATE MY WINDOWS XP. I CAN DOWN LOAD AND INSTALL THE SOFTWARE BUT IT DOES NOT ASK ME TO RESTART MY COMPUTER. WHEN I CLOSE WINDOWS UPDATE AND RESTART MY COMPUTER. A WINDOW POPS UP AND SAYS NTROOTKIT.EXE HAS ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO SHUT DOWN. THEN WHEN I SCAN FOR UPDATES. THE UPATES THAT I DOWNLOADED AND INSTALED NEED TO BE INSTALLED AGIAN. WHILE DOWNLOADING WINDOW POPS UP TELLING ME THAT IT HAD A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO SHUT DOWN. THEN MY COMPUTER RESTARTS. IT GIVES ME ONE MINUTE TO LOG OFF.

Here is a page from Symantec that tells you what to do:
