New Critical Patches for Vista..?

I've found three Updates that my cpu says i need. One i need just by reading
the description and the other involves Excel, which I don't have(i guess) and
the other is for Network IT stuff which again i don't use(i guess). I have an
HP media cpu and the Vista Home Premium. Is Vista already showing security
frailties? Or has my local media homepage still dealing with XP users that
haven't done the automatic update-thang + TrendMicro & SpySweeper. Whazzup
wit dis my peoples?

Re: New Critical Patches for Vista..?

Vista had patches in January when it was released. I hope you have
patched it before this.

You prob have the trial version of Excel or the Excel reader.

Re: New Critical Patches for Vista..?

Well. Lemme kick the proverbial ballistics in regards a me security. Didn't
like One Live, don't likethe other MS..Defender that's it. With the purchase
of my HP media cpu I've got Trend Micro and Webroot SpySweeper free for a
year. They (especially TM) are fairly regularly "updating" my machine. I do
periodically go to the hidden installs to see if A.) compat. w Vista B.)
compat. w/ the user(me). While I've got u sorta. My adobe reader is
"jacked-up". 8.1 came out and I remember supposedly upgrading/installing but
everytime it needs to be accessed I get some pdf note and the new Vista
"prompter" tells me that 8.1 is not working and after much querying i'm still
w/o reader....Uninstall/reInstall right?! Hypothetically say that didn't fix
the problema..Then what? Thanx for putting up w/ my lay"person"ness re:Cpu
language+knowledge.
