This morning when I woke up, I found my computer updating itself, and it said I would be excited about the new updates.

It was working before in my Administrator Account, why not now?
To say the least, I am NOT excited about this at all. Is there anything that I can do to get it working again? I tried right clicking it to see if I could open it with my Administrator, but nothing was there for me to do that with.
Any help would really be appreciated.
