Hello Melvin,You say where am I getting it.Well I'm
getting it from a grey box that pops up saying new
microsoft update.I log on to windowsupdate like it says
and you say and it checks my system for updates like you
say and their it is again.I've removed it several times
after I clued in but at first I didn't realize I had
entered it a few too many times.I swear I am not
blonde.Another time it came with another update and I
couldn't remove it so I entered it again to get the other
update with it.It loves me.Thanks for the help.I'll check
out what you wrote me.Have a great week.Connie.
