Mario: I thought automatic updates had been disabled on this computer, but now, I think things have somehow changed since I did the Malware Bytes scan yesterday.
Will just have to keep watching this. Again, it is very annoying to say the least.

Microsoft is despritly urging users to upgrade, and they have the means to unhide what has been hidden, even change the status of an update from optional to recommended or important at will. so download the gwx control panel program (I recommend the portable version, not the installer), unzip it, run it, and enter on the option to disable the get windows 10 app. if you should want to get windows 10, reenabling is possible. just run the program again and enter on enable the get windows 10 app. gwx control panel: http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/ On 1/23/2016 9:57 AM, Bill White wrote: > Hello, Tom and all.
