Hi Kim P. I don't see any of the programs you have listed as conflicting with my recommendations, that's why I recommended them :) however every system is different so it's always a good idea to install new programs one at a time, to reboot and make sure everything works before installing the next one. You have a McAfee Suite installed which includes antivirus and firewall. This is fine, and if you wish to replace it with Kaspersky that's fine too, however please only have one antivirus and one firewall program installed at any time so make sure McAfee has been completely removed before installing Kaspersky. Also, if the Kaspersky product you install does not include a firewall then you should install one after removing McAfee. I'd also recommend keeping/reinstalling SiteAdvisor or a similar product after removing McAfee. Your other protection software is fine, and I can't see any conflicts, however I recommend you update Ad-Aware to the latest version Ad-Aware 2007. ERUNT is a registry backup program, this is normally taken care of my System Restore so it might not be necessary however there is no harm in performing extra backups. I am not familiar with FixReg, so I can't comment on that program. If you have any questions or would like further information please let me know, otherwise best of luck with Windows Update!!!
Silver…

COMPUTER IS CLEAN… it is running BETTER THAN EVER…. especially now that I've resolved the Windows Update problem!!

I can't thank you - and the entire team here - ENOUGH…. but will make a donation today. It won't be nearly enough to compensate for the help I've received!

As for the MS Windows Sec. Updates - after MONTHS of trying to get answers from Microsoft Tech Help — I was linked up to just the right tech who knew EXACTLY how to resolve the problem. I've known where the problem existed (from day one) – but couldn't find a solution that "stuck".

I will post the 15 second fix under the MS Windows forum in case it helps someone else in the future.

Thank you again, Silver !
