Looking at your posting history you seem to be plagued with problems with the last 2 versions. (tip- Don't get upset because no-one answers over the Christmas period.)
If I were you I would at the very least post your system information in full*. Sometimes you have to help others to TRY** to help you. Wink

*= Includes type of connection, Operating system, updates, network if any and anything other you can think of plus the stuff Hyper asks for in the sticky thread at the top of technical help forum.
**= There are no guarantees...If there was then Hyper would have to give you A full refund. Shocked

Yes you should get that machine updated. I am not sure why you get that error but I am sure the guys at Microsoft can tell you.

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ is a good online scanner.
You might have to repair or reinstall windows if you cant update your computer.
To spend 2 years on the net without security updates should not be done. Its the first thing I do after installing windows from disk.

I doubt it as Jiri said he was disabling them this weekend which is now.
You shouldn't even be on the net without a secure computer anyway.
