    Hey guys,
    I have finally confirmed something I noticed before. Your internet carrier can also be using spyware on your computer. I use ver- down south and sygate informed me it wanted to send a message-I let it through and got a nasty message about P2P useage. My computer has been screwed for a while. Now I know why. I can trace it to the first day I accepted this carrier. Yuck!

    @ justice05

    HouseCall gives you a link to the MS page that discusses the problem. I would go to those links and download fixes from there if available. The MS critical updating system only searches for Windows updates. Those updates you need could be for other MS software like Office. So check out those links, worst case it won't hurt to install the updates twice if you already had them.
    You can also go to: http://office.microsoft.com
    and click on "Check for updates" link on the right side to check for Office updates.
