Because of some computer glitches, I reinstalled my XP operating system right around the time the big virus was gonig around (about 2 weeks ago). Since that time, I've noticed that I have not gotten any automatic updates from Microsoft. I used to get updates every 2-3 days. A little message box would pop up in the lower right- hand corner stating that "New updates have been downloaded and are ready to install". I went to the website & tried to manually download them & I get a message stating that my downloads are up to date. It just seems weird that I used to get them regularly & I have not gotten one for 2 weeks. Any comments??
