    Windows Updates downloading and installing over and over?
    « on: April 05, 2009, 10:18:58 AM »
    Ok, I would appreciate it SO much if someone would help me with this. EVERY time I shutdown my computer, I get this picture of the Windows Security shield by the "Shut Down" button.

    My computer doesnt immediately shut down, it says installing download 1 out 2 or whatever and then eventually it shuts down. Then I reeboot and the same cycle happens over and over when I shut down my computer. Why arent my updates installing? Thats quite nervewracking.. :-\

      This is not normal, possibly something malicious is blocking your downloads if it occurs daily.

      Go to windows update and do a full scan and see how many more you are missing.

      Download them.

      Then do the scans....and have a MS interpret them for you to be sure you don't have a nasty one.


      Never argue with a stupid person, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

      Couldn't it be like Malware if so then why not download Malwarebyets http://malwarebyets.org and do a scan and see if any malware is on your computer. Then remove it.
