More info?)
OK,I have run Adaware,SpyBot,done a System Restore,ran the AVG antivirus and
found nothing,reinstalled WinXP using my CD,and still the Windows Update
page freezes as soon as I open it,I can close it using Alt-Cotrol-Delete and
End Task,no problem.
I still do not understand what is happening.
