I am running windows 7 with MSN and the McAfee Antivirus provided with MSN.
Recently I have been receiving a pop-up balloon to update "Windows Essentials", the balloon has a wrench and an "X" in the upper right corner. So far, I have just been closing this balloon without doing the update.
How can I tell what this update is for? Windows essentials is apparently installed on my laptop, but I do not know if it is really running or what it does. I tried to determine what Windows essentials is and it seems to have many parts so I do not know if I need this update. If needed, why would it not be included with the usual Microsoft updates?
I thought it might be for the Security Essentials, but since I am running McAfee, I do not need or want the Microsoft Security Essentials.
How do I determine what this update is and if I need it?
This question submission page is requiring that I select a Product and Topic within Windows Essentials - the only thing I know I use is Windows Live Mail, so I am just selecting this in order to get my question in front of someone.
Thanks.
