don't know if it's HP or windows, but I have update issues too

Hello!

For some reason, I am the kiss of death when it comes to computers. I don't file share, game, gamble, or anything else.... I've had this computer almost a year. HP laptop.

anyway, my computer and my phone quit communicating. I cannot synch my phone. I figured it was a samsung issue and didn't really care. I hardly ever synch anyway.

Then one of my photo editors quit updating.

Then HP Client stopped updating.

Trend Micro wouldn't install their updates. I called them and went back n fourth for weeks. I finally gave up. But I cannot uninstall Trend Micro until it updates! Nice twist. Trend Micro kept telling me that I have components of Norton on my computer. I've never installed Norton. It wasn't on it when I bought it. And they couldn't locate it when they did a remote access.

Well, I'm taking an online class. Had to download a zip today. Nope!

I did a system restore. It hasn't helped either. AND, in fact, it has caused more of a headache. I had yahoo IM but deleted and uninstalled. Now, when I startup, a pop-up shows up saying that it cannot start yahoo IM. I went back to my programs list, and it's there. BUT, when I go to uninstall again, it says that it cannot find it.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks

Forgot to mention, I am running microsoft security essentials and malawarebytes while my trend micro is acting up.

You can't have two antiviruses installed.Here you have tool to uninstall TrendMicro How To Uninstall & Remove Trend Micro Antivirus/Security From Your Computer!
and don't try install it again.Leave only Microsoft Security Essential.

I put Microsoft Essentials on here only after Trend Micro quit working. I did get Trend Micro off, however.
Thanks!
