I have run a thorough virus scan.. I have no viruses or so it says I don't.
I am using the 'Free' Avast Antivirus . I have all the updates undated.
They all have green check marks by them. These are the dates I did over and
over for this particular update -- the _Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
_ () according to that site of Microsoft's help screen.

All the updates I have done, although I have selected Custom instead of
Express, I still install ALL of them that are listed, so it's not like I am not
installing everything. But this morning, I still get that same update install
again.
Now.. in thinking back, I am wondering if it's this Explorer 7 that I
recently installed. I had been using Explorer 6, but finally changed over several
weeks ago....... Harriet
