It's almost 8:30 pm, do you know where your windows updates are??

[tjsa]

I am guilty of not doing this as much as the rest, but at work today, I did all the updates on half of our laptops, and a couple of our work machines, and you have to do the windows updates at least twice, they don't give you all the updates at once. A couple of the laptops took 3 times to get all the updates and security stuff done.

Then, I ran spybot, ad-aware, disk defragmenter(even if it was not absolutely required), then chkdsk(in the command prompt).

 

Did my home machine tonight, which is why I am here so late, lol.

Yeah I do all that basically every other day. Just to be on the safe side.

I dont click on ANYTHING that pops up on my screen, whether it says WINDOWS update or not. Last time I clicked on a windows update it caused major problems. I leave the computer updates to the momma bear.

Mine automatically updates windows, as well as checks spy ware once a day and makes the computer run much smoother, but I updated the AVG free today with no problems.

I pick and chose my updates. I don't need all the junk they recommend. That includes explorer 7.

IE 7 is a big improvement over IE 6. Unless you use firefox or another browser going to IE7 is a worthwhile upgrade.

I did the last batch of upgrades the other day and my PC is running like crap since.

Like Raf says! Was a tad of a shock when everything looked different...but I like it much better than 6 for sure. My computer is always (auto) looking for updates and all I have to do is click okay at a time I'm not browsing on my sub speed dial up of 22,600 !

 

One thing I found is it does have more Phishing filter..so you may have to do some adjusting to get to places you use to go...

There are updates

[The Urban Fisherman]

I just click "UPDATE" whenever OSX prompts me! hehehe

 

Ever since I switched from PC to MAC I've been doing less of this and more of this

 

But hey, some people use braid and some use floro....to each his own....

I don't like phishing filters or all kinda of tool bars. It just clogges up my veiw takes up more memory. Then I'll have to buy a new computer who wants all that? I like things to be simple. That's one reason why I didn't upgrade to IE7. Nor will I upgarde to Microcsoft Vista. Thats a killer too. needs something like 1G to run the thing and 15G's to install. What am I Rich?
