I uhhh... Think I know why my security was limited.
I can't even remember now when I did this, it's been so long ago... I turned off automatc updates because it had a tendency to slow my computer down when updating. (Before I went to high speed)
I've turned it back on and have it scheduled to update while I'm sleeping in bed and currently, it's installing 91 seperate updates. :oops: :roll:

Oops...

It could always be worse. We just had to replace the HD on my wife's computer, and the software package installation disk had Windows XP's first edition. After 4 service packs and I don't remember how many other updates, she was able to use the computer 2 days later. I found out the hard way that one of the online back-up services is worth the money for that fact alone.

Good thing you caught it when you did!
