Lo and behold, "Please change your Internet Explorer security settings".

It wants me to enable Userdata persistence, which is already set to enable. That could be a bad sign...

Tell me you're not using IE.

[up][up]I clicked on the Express button and it displayed that message, interrupting any processes. It wants me to enable Userdata persistence, despite it already being enabled. Apparently that would prevent updates.

[up]Yes, I'm using Internet Explorer.

^^ He is.

As soon as this blows over, please get Google Chrome. Or at least Firefox. We have more pressing matters at the moment, though.

^ There's certainly something very fishy going on.

Huh. Malware might be tricking the site to think that it's disabled. Another test would be downloading Windows defender and checking if it is able to update.

I don't know if I should download anything right now... It most likely is malware of some kind.

Thanks for the help, by the way. smile

Windows Defender is on the Microsoft website. The chance that it is malware is next to zero.

I meant my problem, not Windows Defender.

It is late over here, I'll try that tomorrow if the problem persists.

Again, thanks for the help.

Go to the library and put it on a flash drive. While you're there, get Spybot and Malaware.

I don't have any flash drives. Haven't actually tried just downloading it yet. Would running Windows in Safe Mode work?
