Every time I turn on my laptop I have to wait ages while it gets these
updates , supposedly downloads and installs them, only for them to be
'needed' again the next time!

Is this a virus or what?

Thanks for this,

The links do indicate that my device is compatible.
And this laptop has not had any norton or macafee things on.

The av is Avast - sort of (This has decided to pack up today after updating
to version 5 - now all I get is 'wrongly configured' when I try to open the
config prog...grrrr!)

Cheers,

S
