Fucking Windows updates every damn day!
 

WTF! It seems every day WinXP is downloading some new fuckin update I have to install.

Anybody else notice this?

I noticed this too...updates my ass....I wonder what they're really planting in our computers...

Its possible to turn thoose autoupdates off if you really want to remain vuln. to new securityholes ...

my partner Preben is prompted with the same install every day... from somewhere in feb... my box have only updated the IIS lately tho?

right click to my computer after properties there turn off auto update.. and you can do it manually every week or so.

:winkwink:

You mean it is really possible to turn it off so M$ cannot control your computer?

Lets face it, anyone who opens their computer up to receive automatic updates and have those programs auto-run/install is just farce.

Think about it... automatic updates has access to your complete system (and maybe your Samba Servers too!).

You should walk around with your pants around your ankle, slightly bent over and just hope Bill doesnt fuck you over!

Lets not forget that if you use M$ auto-updates M$ knows who you are VS the normal windows website.

Microsoft want´s ous to buy all there damn service packs to make the OS run correctly.... I hate them... Linux rules...

When the hell did M$ ever try to charge for a SP or update to fix holes?

...interestingly (kind of) when you hit update, information on every app installed on your computer is uploaded to MS.

BAN THIS FAG!

hrm. here's an idea. h4x0rz, unite out there and make a program, like that brit deal, that intercepts the data *before* it's encoded, and _alter_ it, so the data that is sent to M$ isn't real... only sends the required updated stuff, and maybe just a regular old fuck you letter or soemthing.

if they can intercept the data before it's encrypted on your pc, there's gotta be a way to patch it up.

just an idea :Graucho

You MS bashers are pathetic. If you don't like it, go use some other OS. Oh no look at me, I hate this thing but I'm going to still use it! My car's brake doesn't work but I'm going to ride it to the mall today!

If you're receiving the auto-update everyday even though you have just applied it, then you are probably running a pirated version of XP. This has been reported in a few places on the net that MS might on purpose be making annoying changes to your windows whenever it detects that it is an illegal copy.
So either disable the auto-updates or buy your own copy of XP. :2 cents:

... Another reason why I use a firewall.
