    virus and spyware definitions couldn't be updated

    Yes I'am Marc Chen using this Lenovo computer, I have managed to update and scan this virus spyware since last Friday 3rd of November 2016, at least every fortnight I scan and update things for up to a couple of hours then it was finished completely. Again there can be sometimes have more errors when updating but takes a bit of time, plus I delete lots of old emails sent by other people on my Hotmail sign in(******@hotmail.co.uk) And changed certain things about my CV and deleted old things on my file attachments on one drive File explorer, also I apply for new jobs on different websites, copy then paste and upload new CV's by filling an applications.
