Well in rereading your post I see that you did a search in Microsoft for it. Sorry about that. I don't think just deleting it will solve your problems, but not sure about that because, since it has already altered your system files, you may have to do a system restore before it was down loaded to get it back to some what you had before it. Just deleting the update may not change the system files it has already changed is what I am trying to change. Think I will go back to bed. LOLOL What OS are you running? Don't get into tears, puters aren't worth it. :-) Life is what happens in between plans.

I did the three fingered salute and found something named KB891711. Further hunting around with Dr Watson tells me that the KB891711.exe Version 4.10.2222 component has altered the system files. Because it is an .exe I thought it may have been a nasty but Trend Micro found nothing. All I can find out is that is a patch from Microsoft. > > I downloaded a proggy called SpyBouncer and when I tried to open it I got a box telling me that there was a run-time error 429 and that "Active X can't create object". > I thought I might have been able to delete it (KB891711.exe)........after all, I got on ok before I did the windows update!............. no, not allowed to do that, windows is using it ......What for may I ask???????? > > Are these problems related or just two more #*^^#!#+** problems I have to deal with? > > Yours in tears, Lyn > -- -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
