They could even happen to Frank on Windows 10, as your listing above attests. I just thought it was great, that an unexpected, out-of-band activity, managed to take out my machine. Has any malware damaged my machine ? No. Has microsoft interfered with the daily usages of the machine ? YES. Yes, in spades. Should I be nervous, when a high rate download activity starts on the machine, and I did not command it, and it isn't Patch Tuesday ? YES "Reliability is my middle name" Paul
