http://spywarepreventionguy.com This brief video shows you what to expect when Windows XP has available updates to install, what they are for, and where to get more detailed information about each available update. With all the fake security programs these days that show up in the notification tray in the lower right-hand corner of your display, many people are cautious about clicking on anything to the point that even Windows Updates get ignored.

By default, Windows Updates are set to install automatically, but some people have learned that there are some prerequisite steps to take before installing Windows Updates and have turned-off Automatic Updating so they can do them when they are better prepared.

I actually prefer to set my Windows Updates to notify me when they are available, but NOT to automatically download or install them. I prefer to install mine manually after I have prepared my system in a way that I can quickly reverse any ill-effects that my computer might experience if an update causes any problems. Yes, this happens now-and-then on my customer's computers.

  • Why is it that updates can throw your computer system out of kilter?

    They say without updates a computer could be at risk - my experience is the opposite. Keep your fucking arse off my system if you can't update without regard to the computer's owner.
