Win. 8:
Hello - today on my desktop i saw a 'program' to install, clearly showing the Win. ''shield'' icon & it was an 'exe' file.
Since i have my Update preferences to ''off'' - (ie) that i will check regularly for any updates and choose what i want to install (i don't want Win 8.1 auto-installed).. i don't know how this 'program' suddenly showed on my desktop. There is no way i would have even agreed to an 'ex' file to be downloaded to my desktop .
i right clicked to open for any information but there was no 'description' so i just deleted it.
Anyone have any ideas for me ? Thanks in advance - Edythe
