The NSA has a copy of my files for safe keeping.  LOL!!

I spent most of Friday fixing windows update issues to get the patches installed.  Finally resorted to WSUSOFFLINE.net to download the patches on one computer.

 

P.S.  Displaying the shield on your site is often an invitation to hackers to attack.  We always counselled against it in the corporate world.

Too many antivirus software can also create operating systems Needing one good antivirus and possibly an anti-spyware.  I stay away from free antivirus.
