Wasn't an update this time it happened after I installed McAfee internet security, I kept getting pop ups from them telling me of a threat and to delete it by pressing OK. No luck so tried system restore which got rid of the pop ups but wiped off McAfee of course.
Called in the expert to sort it out.

There have been many problems on Windows 8.1 Howard with McAfee.
I uninstalled the version that I was running after the first years trial using their uninstall tool as it was resisting complete removal by the usual method.
I now use Kaspersky which has served me well so far! If you bank online the full (normal paid) version can be downloaded free from some banks.
It also has a useful ring fencing facility for the browser when on banking or sites where you need to input banking/ sensitive details. It will use a virtual keyboard setting for more security too!
Do nothing and nothing happens.
