-pops- Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I am informed (BBC Ceefax p154) that the Tuesday Windows update consists of 10 patches, some critical. There is a warning from MS that these should be downloaded and that people are becoming complacent about Internet security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 There is a warning from MS that these should be downloaded and that people are becoming complacent about Internet security.Thanks for the reminder. Complacent? If anything I am too security conscious. I take security very seriously and always download critical security updates for my operating system as I was one of the people who was caught out by the MS Blaster worm around 2 years ago :angry: This was my own fault though as I didn't bother to check!

CurlyWhirly Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Seeing this thread jogged my memory so I went to the Microsoft Update site to check for critical updates but nothing. All I can say is that they can't be that critical :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Are you checking http://update.microsoft.com/ or http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com because I just checked out the first, and there are 8 new critical updates. 1pm EST (7 Windows updates, 1 Office update?)

-pops- Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 If these things are critical, as claimed, they should be available on all the Windows/Microsoft update sites, surely.Something weird here :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyassa Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Wow 43 mins download ?So that answers my question then ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
