Full Disclosure: Running the Fix It in AGGRESSIVE mode will delete your Update History but not the list of Installed Updates. Note: You should see faster startups with every successive reboot. => Of course, if any other security-related updates are offered in the main results window, install them, too. Uncheck & hide any/all other Optional Software updates as well as all.If a Root Certificates update is listed, install it to take full advantage of IE's enhanced security.=> In the Optional Software updates section on the left: Reboot and IMMEDIATELY open Internet Explorer (only!) to Windows Update takes a very long time to search than I get the same 3 kb updates in the priority list.Īdd/Remove programs also a long time to build the list. Full Disclosure: Running the Fix It in AGGRESSIVE mode will delete your Update History but not the list of installed updates in Add/Remove Programs.

IMPORTANT - DON'T SKIP THIS STEP! => Open Internet Explorer (only!) to Don't TOUCH your keyboard until the run completes, then reboot.ĥ.

Double-click on the file you saved in #1 above to run the utility. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the taskbar).ģ. Download the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool, saving it to your desktop:Ģ.

Let's see if getting rid of the McAfee leftovers corrects the behavior.ġ. McAfee (and Norton) applications are notorious for not uninstalling (or upgrading) cleanly.
