Does the Immunize feature interfere with any legitimate operations? I ask
because I keep trying to install a Microsoft Security Patch, from the
Windows Update site, and it refuses to install. Every morning, my automatic
Windows update feature prompts me to install, and it fails every time. This
has been going on for a couple of months now.

I never had this problem prior to installing anti-spyware software. I have
tried "de-immunizing" but the update still doesn't install.

It's enough to make me want to reformat the hard drive, reinstall my apps,
and never connect the machine to the internet! Bummer!
