windows update installed a virus scanner .. it detected my vipre virus protection and my vipre detected it as a virus.. the microsoft virus scanner wanted me to pay 59.99 or some such for it to remove all the trojans and such it found.. which were actually
my own virus scanner.. the vipre kicked in and removed the other virus scanner which was part of windows and ruined the windows. i had to completely reinstall windows.. thanks for wasteing a whole day of my time.. would have cost me 80.00 at the repair shop..
I would think microsoft would give us the option of downloading it before it installs in case we already use another virus scanner.. i have since turned off automatic updates.. but my mom does not know how to decide what to download for updates. i have to
go to her house now and update her windows to be sure the virus scanner is not installed????
how do i protect myself from this virus scanner from being installed.. i dont want it. i already have virus scanner.
friends have siad the same thing happened to them. i have 6 other computers that do not have automatic update turned on .. thank god.
how can i make this easyer for my mom so i dont have to reinstall her windows again.
