Reboot after update problem.
Just bought Internet Security 2011. Worked fine for the first week or so.
In one update cycle, a pop-up said that it needed to reboot before applying the update.
After rebooting, the computer hung just before the windows xp log-in screen.
Tried it again several times, same thing.
Finally, pressed F8 at reboot to get to the boot menu, and chose "Use last known configuration." It worked. I thought that was that. Used the computer for a week or so without any problems.
Unfortunately, just a few minutes ago, i initiated a manual update for bit defender, and the same pop-up screen came again. After rebooting, same problem: hanging right before the log-in screen. I used the same technique I used before, then the system booted up proper.
Can someone tell me what's going on? Does this mean that my anti-virus has not been updated for the last several days/week?
Thanks.

My system is running on xppro sp3, if that's a factor.
