>NET Framework 4: Bad Install, lost access to External Drive
Strange issue (s). Running Update, and I had to (supposedly) install .NET Framework 4. Didn't think nothing of it till I lost access to my External Drive. After playing around with everything, I finally was able to use the Repair/Remove tool for .NET. Course when I tried that the first error I got was "Generic Trust Failure", then on the next try, "Fatal Error". Finally around the 3rd try it worked. Then I had to run a "chkdsk /R E:" in order to get back into my external. Everything seems to be fine now, with everything working smoothly.
But....it's now asking again for the .NET Framework 4 to be updated. Plus I found these files, in this order on my external:
58af50847d95ac97f7
37328d6b76a4cc287702f36971784b9c
ca5b7723d9a85b9e698c90
MediaID.bin
I've never seen them before, and I can't find anything about them. Do they have something to do with this Update? Can I delete them, and if not, is there a way to hide them?
Plus with all the problems I had accessing/fixing everything in the last day or so, I'm kinda hesitant to install the Framework update.
Could use a bit more advice. Anyways, should anyone have a thought?
UPDATE:
Looked into the files a bit more;
58af50847d95ac97f7 has in it "MPSigStub.exe" which seems to have something to do with MS Malware Protection
And the next 2 files have in each of them:
NDP40-KB2533523.msp
NDP40-KB2533523.msp
I think the MediaID.bin file is from W&'s backup feature. But what's odd about, is I haven't used it. I use a 3rd party software.
I guess what I am getting at, is that this update worry's me. It messed up my PC bad a couple of days ago, and it wasn't easy getting it to work again. Has anyone else had this issue? And likely a silly question; but, can I ignore this update?
