I'm *very* tempted to start again with a fresh install, and forget the updates - they don't do much anyway!
There is "Autopatcher" software, free. It downloads all updates from M$ site you might need and then you start the process of silent installation of patches. It can take 3-4 hours to update everithing (IE, Adobe, .Net, ...) but there are not many reboots, 2-3 maybe, depends. When you reboot just start paching process again and it will pick where it left off.
Oh yes! I have heard about that before. All needed M$ updates on a CD or DVD. So you can update without having to do the downloads? Thanks for reminding me about that one Ljubomir!
And NEVER EVER leave Automatic update..... EVER. If you do, better shoot your self in the head, it will heart far less.
So I found out the hard way recently. Stuck in an eternal update cycle!!!
Is there such a thing as a secure Windoze computer?
Sure. Any Powered down Windows is 100% secure :-)
That's the best one to have!
The only good thing I can say is there is quite alot of good GPL'd applications for Windoze on sourceforge and other websites.
