    Windows update installed a virus


    I updated my windows and some program called "Web companion" was installed on my computer.When i saw it a thought it was some sort of windows program so i clicked "Yes".And then my some command prompt window opened and closed.Then my taskbar started flashing every 10 mins and my default browser became Bing.I was able to remove it "I hope so" and did a virus scan.

    :)
