Appreciate the reply.

But wondering why I HAVE to install all critical updates if all is working OK?

I am super careful, have av updated daily or more often, run 3 spyware
programs, don't open attachments, don't go to weird sites, have two firewalls
operating.

Again, wondering what is so critical if Windows is running with no problems.

Thank you.
