I've noticed that everytime I start the PC, The "downloading updates" icon
appears in the Notification area, but then it disappears soon after, without

have had, ever since I built the PC, so what's happening?? Is Microsoft
checking, everytime I go online to see if I have WGA installed?? could this
be a new form of spyware, I'm not aware about?? very creepy!

I used to get that on broadband; I was with E7even (spit) but now they have gone bust I am back on dial-up and I don't seem to get the yellow shield up anymore.
