ScarletRose: Nope....never changed either my firewall or virus programs & it shows that both are on. Never ran updates for IE. When I do a temp file delete at least 1 time each week, there wouldn't be anything in the MSN part, just in the temp files mostly. I could have picked up a virus of some sort because I can't turn on my Automatic Updates in my security. It will always be on but this week, it was turned off ( not by me) & when I click on the turn on part, nothing happens. Would get a thing that the security center can't turn it on. Then I'll go to automatic updates & click on when I would like the updates to be done. Today in fact, I set when it should be done. Stayed on-line during that time & didn't get anything for it showing either in my icons or when I went to log off.
