I don't think the early problems with the updater had been fixed by her version. She can do a download of the latest version, and its updater will also do a removal of her version and import her current settings.
Great, lets hope that nails the sucker, seems to be one thing after another lately

Hello,has your friend tried to do a manual update?Also make sure that when she tries to update she has Internet Explorer set up in Application Rules as V3 uses this to update.
Hi, yes we did try to do this manually as after a few days I asked her if an auto one had kicked in to which she answered Nope

I will ensure she has Internet Explorer set up in app rules for sure, although I cant actually recall whether I did this myself, but eveidently I am one of the few not having issues with updates, so far touch wood
*Taps head* 
Anyways thanks again I will tell her,
sincerely,
Emms
