I used several programs to remove adware back on 5/2/15. Following that my computer wouldn't successfully do updates. I have paid for Microsoft support for the year...after two full Saturdays w/Microsoft support working on my PC remotely....on 5/6 and then on 5/22....the issue still occurred. By 5/31 I had over 140 updates that were trying to load and erring out and then having to uninstall. It was getting frustrating. I found this blog....and running the above go.microsoft.com....and it worked. Unbelievable. As soon as I ran that and rebooted 42 updates came in and successfully loaded. I even purchased reimage repair (RE) and it failed to fix the issue.

So THANK YOU for this post. 6/1/15...happy again. here's the report details:

What happens with the latest Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer?

BTW it would be best if you would start your own thread with your own details.
