error message when starting the computer

[Lorraine]

Hi Guys,

I'm having a little bit of bother every time i boot up my computer. I am currently running windows XP and every time i start the computer i receive a message telling me that:

 "updates are ready to be installed on your computer"

 then it gave me the option to restart and install the updates, so that is what i did but i still got the same message so i went into the control panel and clicked on system-automatic updates and everything seemed fine only now when i boot up my computer i receive the same message as the one above and another message that says:

error loading C:\progra~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\1.bin\M3PLUGIN.DLL

I've already looked through some of the other questions in the forum and came across a link to check all of my updates on the microsoft website, so i did that and everything there also seems to be o.k

I don't know if the two messages are at all related or why when i restart my computer I am still receiving these messages but if you could help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

Mywebs toolbar is malware. If it has been removed from your computer, there are still bits of it left. Just hang tight and a Malware specialist will be along to help. You could also visit  the Virus and Malware section in this forum and read the second thread from the top. BTW, were these MS updates there were ready to be installed?

Hi again,

Thank you for the speedy reply to my problem. As far as i knew they were Microsoft updates but then i checked the Microsoft site for a history of my updates and all seems to be fine - so maybe they are something else entirely but the message is not giving me any clue to what the updates are.....

"Restarting computer is required" - Computer must be restarted for updates to install, would you like to restart the computer? YES/NO

I've tried going into the control panel to switch it off but so far no joy!

Thanks again

On my XP, when updates are available there is just a small icon in the quick-launch tray and then it very seldom that you have to restart after the download. I quite sure that you have some bugs on your computer. You should follow the instructions in my earlier post and run the tests to determine what is wrong. MyWebs is Malware and somehow it was installed on your computer.
