Re: Windows xp automatic update service

Bobby

I checked Windows Update Support. I went to Windows Update on my computer
and "Review your update history." My update history shows 20-30 consecutive
security updates labeled "KB936181" all of which suceeded with no failures or
error codes. Still they keep popping up every time I shut down the computer.
My history shows no failures for the last 50-60 updates.
