Hi:

I have a Dell, Windows XP, 2002, Service Pack 2. I had my computer professionally cleaned, increased memory, and got a new virus program (Avast). Now, every time I shut down, Windows informs me I have an update. This has happened dozens and dozens of times: is it a problem? Will it ever END? Thanks.

No,

This is not a problem. But, this does take some space on your hard drive. If you find this annoying, go to START > CONTROL PANEL > CLASSIC VIEW > SECURITY CENTER > CLICK WINDOWS UPDATE AND TURN IT TO 'OFF'.

That will stop that,

Miles M. Go to windows update and get all of the UPDATES that are available for your computer.

Click Start then choose All Programs, then select Windows Update. It will scan your computer and list all available updates. Install all of them. then restart and go BACK to windows update. You will have to resart a few times. Just keep going back until it stops finding updates for your computer. This will probably take a few hours.

After you have done this, you will receive updates only once or TWICE a month.
Good luck!Quote
