has this been patched within the latest release of updates or does the workaround still need to be applied. if it has then what is the KB update number? Probalby not, but several have been. The latest ones are still being worked on. When you do updates, use the Custom button; it'll show you the KB for every update.

ok. one of the things I was wondering is the advisories that are issued for
different updates, are they the kb numbers for those particular updates when they are issued? -- Four Generations Of Trust And Betrayal...One Legacy Skywolfe "Twayne" wrote: Rage Skywolfe wrote: has this been patched within the latest release of updates or does the workaround still need to be applied. if it has then what is the KB update number?

I always use Custom when updates arrive now so I can check to see what's being downloaded. If I'm not sure I trust it, I'll check that stated KB article to see just what it's about. I recently for instance caught IE8 and stopped it from downloading. If you do that from the Custom window, it'll also give you the opportunity to tell it to not offer that update toyou again, saving having to go off and do it yourself, or keep denying it over and over each update cycle. Use that capability sparingly though; you do NOT want to tell it to not download fixes and improvements; they are usually quite important. I don't think IE8 will be offered either unless you already have IE7. I'd already tried IE8 and discovered it was a clunker so I sure didn't want it! IMO it doesn't belong in the auto-updates anyway.

I use the custom updates as well. have for years. I just wondered if the
advisories that are issued as numbers are issued as KB numbers later I have never deniesd important updates usualy just the optional updates like windows search for example. and IE 8 will be delivered even if you do have IE7 because it has done that with me. I have had no real problems with it except page loading delays if I install spybot and ad aware together. -- Four Generations Of Trust And Betrayal...One Legacy Skywolfe "Twayne" wrote: Rage Skywolfe wrote: ok. one of the things I was wondering is the advisories that are issued for different updates, are they the kb numbers for those particular updates when they are issued?
