While loading my Windows on startup I saw that my ZoneAlarm was taking a lot longer in starting up. Then is when my Windows automatic updates showed up in my toolbar. There are seven of them.

My question is: I downloaded all of Windows updates just a week ago, so why am I getting more updates when they are not due till the second Tuesday of November?

I'm not ignorant, I just need more learning!

Hi Tammy

I do my updates manually so I went to the update site and checked for new critical updates and it said there were none. Maybe you got some of those optional ones or something??
