Windows Update problem

[traynor]

I know--no one should allow Microsoft access to his or her computer. After months of haranguing and whining I finally clicked the Windows Update link and something went totally haywire. The updates installed (theoretically) but now when I try to save files as text files, various tagged material is included (JavaScript, lots of peripheral material that is not usually included in text saves).

It is not IE--the same thing happens in Firefox.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem? I am running Windows 7 Professional, IE 9, and whatever the latest version of FireFox is. Downloads using another computer (that--fortunately--I never let Microsoft Updates near) all work fine, same as always. The problem is definitely related to the latest Windows Update (updated today).

Thanks. I did a system restore and rolled it back to the point before installing the latest (absolutely critical, your-computer-will-not-run-without-them meddling from Redmond--including carte blanche in the fine print to do whatever they deem "necessary" for me) "updates." That solved the problem.
