Too good to be true - Windows Update

[Steven S. Kurz]

To whom it may concern,

Files not moving, weird pauses, and problems, formating
the drive and still having similar flaky
problems.....possibly a virus! You may want to look into
this, flaky problems are alot of the time caused by
viruses even when you think there up to date. Formating
your drive to manufacturers specs doesn't mean that a
virus can be deleted. You must low level format the
drive and this is not a user friendly function. Take it
in for repair!

Good luck,

I found a Knowledge Base file that said that the update may loop around
(among other things) if I have my "discuss" option on in IE6. I went to
view>explorer bar and I don't even have a discuss option.

I read while browsing the Knowledge Base it downloads something into a .cab
file. I can't find that article again. Does anyone know if there is a .cab
file that I can safely delete or modify. Maybe our resident registry guru
Kelly has a registry modification I can make.

Any help would be appreciated.
