Wtf is wrong with this computer
    #19283867 - 12/16/13 01:15 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So I got an emachines e627 the other day. I'm attempting to check for updates and download an antivirus, I'm unable to do either. I'm on the library's wifi. Tried to download an antivirus 7 times. Sometimes it fails after 20mb, sometimes after 60mb/83.5mb. Some site said it could be the firewall or the pop-up blocker. Disabled both the firewall and pop-up blocker. Still failing to download or check for updates for Windows 7 Home Premium. This is infuriating, never encountered this problem before. I thought computers were more advanced than this bullshit but I guess not. Any help?

edit: Finally was able to complete the antivirus download, the "emachines updater" was unable to find any new updates, I don't see how as I did a factory restore the other day, still going to keep trying to check for updates.

edit2: Attempting to register the product key that was on the bottom of the laptop, still awaiting confirmation, am wondering if this has anything to do with Windows Update failing to check for updates.

edit3: Windows Anytime Upgrade fails to validate the product key, asks for another product key. Windows Update unexpectedly has checked for updates and I've begun installing all except dumb shit like Microsoft Office because I don't use that nonsense and MS Office will just take up space on the hard drive and probably slow down the computer. Went to Properties of Computer and Status claims to have validated Windows as activated. Problems with the computer seem to be resolving themselves, but I'm sure more problems will arise in the future...
