Sorry, don’t know what to say. My computer always says its updating however I’ve never heard of an IAC 2.5 Do you have Norton or Some other spy ware protection type stuff on your computer. Computer advise is hard to give because you run the risk of someones computer getting destroyed. Must times Updates will run automatically if the software is preexisting. You may go to you internet and look up tools and options and see if the software is in there. Has your computer been crashing or freezing a lot?
