well I have win xp and was installing all the patches and updates. I read in a thread somewhere thought that the updates and patches are actually causing more harm than good in some cases. Plus, they installed some fucking spyware on my computer through these patches and updates. I can't remember which board I read it on it may have been here. I did a search for the particular component that I was told that the patches/updates are installing and sure enough I found it for the date that I had done the latest update. I just went into my computer and restored it to a day or two prior to my last update/install and quit downloading the damn things. My computer has run like a dream every since.
