Title: Windows xp updates
Post by: Yaza2 on November 06, 2003, 12:07:23 AM
This is starting to become a problem, it seems as everytime I am online I have to update my computer for some security. Sooner or later all my computer is going to be is updates :hmmm:  Can someone help.

Eh, you can't have that many to get - I've not had any myself for ages.
How often do you go online, and what connection have you got?

If you go to http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com) you only need the stuff in the "critical" category, the rest is optional stuff.

it may seem like your getting a lot but you could be getting the same message over and over again.  if you update them when they tell you to do so you won't see those little notices as often.

I use a cute little program that tells me about updates that are only relevant to my software.  Heh, it was sort of funny, it found a virus update for my virus scanner before the virus program did.
I don’t know, it might be useful, it’s called BigFix (http://www.bigfix.com)
