Installed Windows Update is empty
When I look at the Windows Update list, it is empty. I show no updates installed. If I look at the history of update of Windows, I see a list of many updates. Since I have no listed update as installed, I can not uninstall an update as IE 8. Can someone help me?
Hello, scottlei
If you're just trying to uninstall Internet Explorer 8, you can try to do is a system restore to before Internet Explorer 8 has been installed or by using the FixIt tool at the following link: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/448b12c8-83f3-47c1-aa26-5d4a8e6422461033.mspx

Previously, McAfee SecurityCenter has been installed on my pc, but it has been replaced by McAfee Total Protectiononce the subscription has expired. [It isunderlining] I remember getting a Norton trial software installed at a given moment, but this has been removed to make room for software McAfee, to ensure that there is no conflict between the programs.
You should have installed McAfee Total Protection before as your McAfee Security Center subscription expires. If you're lucky, the following may solve your problem:
1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe
1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop:http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
4. now run this triple McAfee fix: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507
[Note that you you already downloaded the removal tool in my # 1 step b above.] You will restart three times: after uninstalling McAfee Total Protection; After you run the removal tool; and then the reinstallation of McAfee Total Protection.]
5. after reinstalling McAfee Total Protection, manually & repeatedly update the app until you get a prompt "no update more".
6. for good measure an another Windows update reset (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058), restart once again & test.
