        mcafee is HORRIBLE about that shit, if you have that

        uninstall mcafee ASAP, it will give you nothing but trouble

            no mcaffe on the computer but i figured it out. for whatever reason when i changed the setting in automatic updates to update automatically instead of downloading auto and choosing when to install, the updates installed.
