Today I have updated a 1.5 MB file on Ubuntu 13.10 as I have security and other update notifications on and it showed up. But after installing the updates, when I try to go to system properties, it still displays the Install Updates in unchecked condition, so as to again install the updates. I have thought that first time that I may not have installed the updates properly. But after re - installing the updates, it still displays the Install Updates in unchecked condition. The message should show System Up to Date.

I have checked and re - installed the Install Updates message about 20 times. The same results repeat again and again. I am still watching the Install Updates unchecked and not showing the message System Up to Date. Is there any Linux virus attacking my PC or is there any error or something else in issue? Please help.

No this is not a virus.. APT is experiencing an error.

open a terminal window and type
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
What error does it spit out?
While we wait you can also try a few command that usually fix it:
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update
