MB's used for patches/security updates

[VanHuff]

Does ANYONE have any idea how much MB's have been
consumed by all of the updates and patches for viruses
and worms, and will we ever be able to get that space
back?
Just wondering. Seems like a whole lot of space is used.
Thanks

The space taken by the patches is not much more than the unpatched programs.
The real culprits arfe the uninstall files. Get rid of these with this
