==========================================

In one of your previous answers, you told us that an application of Norton and a McAfee application have been installed at some point in the past (i.e. before you installed Avast). You mentioned also as a test of free Norton is preinstalled on the computer when you bought it.

Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

Note: What follows assumes that

-The Norton free trial period had NOT expired at the time where you replace it with another application; AND that

-Your Norton OR McAfee paid-subscriptions expired never (i.e. before you installed Avast). AND that

-You have never done a repair installation or a clean installation of Windows.

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. double-click on the file that you saved in # 1 a above, to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

3. double-click the file that you saved in # 1 b above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

4. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

5. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run who fix it in methods AGGRESSIVE then by DEFAULT. [1]

6 restart again, and then run a manual check of updates & see if KB2506212 and/or KB2446704 to install.

Note: We have more work to do!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not list the updates installed in Add/Remove programs.

    Welcome to the HP Forum!

    You could try the following:

    Control Panel > display icon > programs and features >

    Scroll down, find and uninstall HP Support hasWizard.

    Restart your computer after uninstalling the existing version of the Support Assistant.

    Download and install the latest version of the HPSA:

    HP Support Assistant

    Restart / reboot the computer and log in

    =====================================================================================

    If the problem persists, you can try:

    • Open HPSA > click "updates and optimizations" (wording may slightly differ) >
    • Select them Updates settings and messages >

    Under ' how would you like to receive updated software and messages from HP?

    • Select in the menu dropdown:

    Search for updates, but let me choose whether to download and install them

    Always in the updates and optimizations >

    • Check / initiate a list of available updates >
    • If the offending hotfix package is still listed, then click on it (maybe right-click?) and a value of 'Ignore' or 'hide' this package

    > Once 'Hidden', the package should not display longer towards the top of the list of available updates.

    Comment

    In particular, it is the opinion of this Expert that you ban HPSA to download and install a BIOS update on your computer.  You should always, in the opinion of this Expert, look for the updates to the BIOS on the website of your computer and only download and install a BIOS update when the update is directly applicable to your situation or if you are having problems with your computer.

    Says Windows usually updates installed and ready to turn it back on - it did not.
    The new window updates, explains all the updates above are available and does not seem to recognize that they have already been "installed".
    Suddendly machine may not be used, any open window says "not responding".
    Tried to install the updates again, but same as above.
    Restart the computer.
    I got Thunderbird open and does not and used Firefox to try to access this forum.
    Firefox picked up trying to open on this forum and said not reponding.
    Same as above, nothing had changed and unable to use what whatsoever.
    Uninstalled all the above recent updates.
    The machine works again instantly.
    Open Firefox to access forum, he reported problems with the last session on this site and so I started a new session.
    Everything works well and fast.

    If I look at 'review your update history'
    All the updates mentioned above are presented as successfully installed twice.
    If I look at "the new updates are available," all the installed and then uninstalled updates are listed.

    So before I try to install the updates listed above again, what known problems are there regarding their.
    Why do you have the "check updates insist I had not installed?"
    Why updates has not asked to restart the computer?
    Why install the updates above make it impossible to use any programs?
