My girlfriend has Vista( kinda like having puter herpes)

She just got an automatic update from Microsoft about security protection.

Now she cannot get on Internet Explorer--it says there is malicious software or spyware--I tried to erase this update received on 2-2-09--it cannot be removed--point is on the page that pops up they lead you to a sight to buy Microsoft Spyware and virus protection--it never dis this before that last automatic update.

She just installed the latest updates from Norton--there are no problems

HELP--she cannot get on line and wants to use my computer

I hope this all makes sense to somebody.

As you can tell--I am a low tech kinda guy--so talk at a 3rd grade level if you have any ideas

Thanks
