MS 8.1 Update
I downloaded the MS up date yesterday it comes with several critical and
one optional update. The optional update is as large as the several critical updates. Once applied I did not note any obvious differences. In fact from all of the hype leading up to the update, I was slightly disappointed. After the update I had to update Adobe Shockwave. Has this upgrade gone that smooth that no one had problems, or have I been tricked into download near 400 MB of male ware. ;-) Please don't say Yes |

You could have skipped it. The thread is going in a direction that was never intended. I hope every one knows what :-). I have been working with computers since about 1983, and am well aware of what to down load and what not to down load. If there ever comes a time when we can not trust a MS update to be free of viruses and maleware, we are all in big trouble. |

At least that seems to be my take on reading stories about the web. |

Strange though, the sound was actually working. I was in the process of looking around to see what could be producing the warning, when it just vanished. -- |
