Return to normal by repeating the steps above, but removing -k in Step 4.Okay so i just survived a recent virus attack (cleaned it up with Smitfraud!), but anyways, a day after that, somehow my "Automatic Updates" are turned off (it shows up with a balloon) everytime i restart my computer or even does that randomly. However, most Web links are well-behaved enough these days to open links in a new tab, rather than a new Internet Explorer window.
