It sounds like all you had to do was delete Asus update a bit like when McAfee won't go away so I just uninstalled it as it's a terrible program and AVG is better .

Sometimes updates can be annoying , and you've got to be careful of viruses sneaking in and unwanted things installing themselves .

It's always worth checking your control panel to make sure the programs on there are needed . You can even see the date they were installed .

i now have it on manual control so it can't annoy me by automatically updating, which doesn't work anyway

But you should have more control . I had to do that with automatic updates that constantly configured a ridiculous amount , its got to the point where it looked like it was just making up updates

There's no modern computer/laptop out there that should be that time consuming with updates . So I cancelled the automatic updates as it became a joke as it was configuring loads all day .

my point is, the normal windows update i can still use properly, the whole asus live update is only for the laptop itself, if it worked fine, but it never worked, people had trouble with it since 2008, i just don't delete it bc it is part of my asus laptop and i don't know what will happen if you delete it

I think it's best then just to have it on manual so you can control it more . Like I said I've done that with general updates and now I get the option to run updates or cancel them .

yes, as long as my laptop works well for me


anyway in case my laptop breaks down i have all my songs on a external hard drive, so i don't have to download them again

so i learned from the past
