Question: Has anyone gone to Windows update and ended up with spy ware? The Windows auto update page that my lady ended up on I suspect was a ruse.She downloaded an urgent security update and guess what? It turned out to be keylogger malware.AVG did not detect it.Anyone else had such an experiance?

Answer: There are trojans out there that appear as a Windows update but it isnt. If you want a secured windows update, you should go to http://www.microsoft.com and you should click on Microsoft Update to get the true secured update. There are a lot of spywares out there that can enter your computer and trojans can intercept your windows update and hack into your system to install more spywares into your system. You have to be careful where and how you download. I always go through the microsoft website.
