Why am I getting updates everyday... is it the same update or are there actually updates everyday?
Thanks
Your antivirus component updates at least once a day and other components will vary.
Yes, we add somewhere between 50-100k new signatures a day. Need to get those to your pretty Frequently.

I'm getting updates that require me to reboot my machine about once per day. This started about a month ago and it is getting annoying. Is this a "bug" or a "feature?" My machine is running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.

That shouldn't be happening. An occasional reboot yes, but not every day. Run the Virtual Technician to see if it can fix the software: http://mvt.mcafee.com/
If it doesn't fix it then Uninstall via Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a Program
Then run MCPR cleanup tool and reboot.
Reinstall from your online account.
This is typical of what happens when registry cleaners are used, have you used one?
I have not used a registry cleaner in some time. However, I use the Microsoft "enhanced cleanup" documented in Fred Langa's "Windows Secrets" from April 4, 2002 that is accessed by clicking on Start|Run then type cleanmgr /sageset:99
This is supposed to be a safe way to remove entities that tended to slow down my machine.
I agree, that should be OK. Although I would imagine that was written for XP.

Yes I'm also a subscriber and, apart from perhaps being tardy cleaning dust out of machine, have done most of what he recommends at fairly frrequent intervals.
Actually that particular process hasn't changed much since Windows started.
