| Guest | Vista is making me lose my sanity... If this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move it. Anyways, I've been noticing that my computer has been installing updates without my consent. Originally, I had set it to install updates automatically, and it did that for awhile. But here recently, it's been installing updates almost every time I come on the internet. I tried changing the update settings to "Download updates, but let me choose whether to install them" and the two other options (check updates and allow me to install, and never download updates) and it still didn't work. Now, every time I get on the computer, I have to wait almost an hour for the updates to configure, even when I didn't give them the go ahead to install! Is anyone having this problem? And if so, is there some sort of patch that can cure it? Here's what my computer says I need to download:
Thanks in advance for any advice. -- spiffster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ spiffster's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=574 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23769 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Guest | Re: Vista is making me lose my sanity... I have found that it is advantageous to have the updates automatically download and Install, at 3:00 a.m. It works! To me the words "Security" and "Important" indicates that you may be open to some malicious software. Don't depend on your Anti-virus program to protect from this. Your consent? It seems that you can't tell which ones are valid, so why not just install them? "spiffster" <spiffster.3gx9ak@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:spiffster.3gx9ak@xxxxxx
