On a new installation of Windows Xp. First thing I try is to update. I
get a message saying that MS wants $19.95 for a fix for security issues,
pop ups etc. Let me get this striaght. I pay good money for a operating
system that is touted to do everything except save the world. And then
they have the nerve to say "Oh by the way, what you paid us for is broke
and we need $19.95 to fix it. So it will work the way it was supposed to
in the first place. Is this a scam to get a credit card number or is
this for real?
