Microsoft updates March 13, 2013 Windows 7 Pro It seems that not all is well with the IE 10 push. I have Windows Update set to download but let me chose when to install. Yet after these updates downloaded...something crazy happens I went to power off like I nornally do and Windows Update stated that updates were being applied not to power off my system. When the update finished the system powered off. When I powered on and booted up I noticed that my IE 32bit was gone and the IE 64bit tries to open, then crashes. I tried to do a restore back before the updates, but the restore failed. Tried going back another restore point and it too failed. Rebooted …

Running XP pro with SP3 on 10 year old Dell Dimension 4500. I do NOT use MSE. I use AVG malware protection. I allow Microsoft updates to download automatically but I choose when to install. On 3/13/13 I noticed my PC had set a new restore point called "Software Distribution Service 3.0". Checking Windows Update I found 8 legitimate appearing updates on 3/13 but I knowingly did not take any action to install them. Do I have malware? If yes, how do I recover? The updates were: KB2807986 for One Note KB2687505 for Visio Viewer KB890830 for Malicious... KB982726 for Office 2010 KB2767886 also for Office 2010 KB2809289 for IE 8 KB2814124 for Silverlight KB25…

I was using ZoneAlarm firewall before I was convinced that Windows Firewall is good enough. Although since I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and started using win firewall, I have trouble with several things such as windows update, defender definition updates, Dropbox syncing... I do not want to keep updating things manually. That defeats the purpose of automatic updating. I want things to go back to normal.When I used the tool: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/windows-update-issues/en-usI have got several errors, all except one of which were fixed. This one issue was about "Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)"I have stopped and restarted this service from services.msc …

Been through this before. Hoping Susan Bradley can comment.On my system in WU KB2807986 is listed as Important but is not checked for installation, i.e. it is throttled.I thought perhaps on my system it might be related to this re KB2807986: Known issues with this security update In certain automated update deployment scenarios (such as from Windows Update or Microsoft Update), this update may not always install. This would also cause other pending updates not to install.
