Re: Question about MS critical updates

The link above has the critical updates from SP1 to Feb 2004, which will
take you out of the danger zone before hitting the
windowsupdate.microsoft.com site.

The difference is, that if you download it, burn it on CD and apply it to
the WXP before you connect it to the Internet you will be able to connect to
windowsupdate.microsoft.com and get the latest patches without being
infected.

Of course getting the updates from MS would also be an option, if you fancy
downloading 49 files and clicking on each for installation. At the site I
have mentioned they are already compiled, only one file is needed for
downloading, with one click all the 49 updates will install themselves.

I didn't describe the whole procedure, thinking it might be self explaining,
why else would I send the link. -
