Don’t automatically install updates unless you need them. If you think it is an update glitch, then roll back to an earlier date.

Well, yeah, but a lot of those updates were security-oriented. I don't care about Google that much; in fact, this experience has prompted me to use Dogpile more.

Other than this one thing, Win 7 is working fine for me. It'll probably get worked out. I note that there are two more Win 7 updates waiting to be downloaded...

I seldom use Dogpile any more, although I was an early advocate. I now use IXQ because I like it’s security and privacy policies. Go here, and click on either IXQUICK or “private” to view their policies;
