I have had problems with internet security & running spybot, ad-aware, hijackthis & CWshredder, they all seem clean. I am in need of 15 critical updates for XP, once downloaded the 'install' process never starts, although there is 'data' movement on the internet connection
Any thoughts how to install these critical updates ?
Can I copy them to another computer then burn to a disk & install like that

Thank

Mart

Thanks for the help, I could not find any of the documents relevant to my cause
As my PC is relatively new, with limited software loaded, can I do a low level format of the 'C' drive reinstall XP, will this solve all the spy & hijacker problems and repair the registry as it should ??
