For the first time in months I allowed Windows Updates for my Windows 7 Pro. The last time it took me two days to repair the damage. This time, it wiped out everything on my computer. No files, photos, Firefox bookmarks, nothing. Fortunately, I did a system restore and got it back, with one big exception: Google is no longer listed as a search engine choice, only Bing and Yahoo. If anybody know how to get it back, please let me know, as it is not a choice in the drop down list.
This is the update from August 13th, this week. Never again.
