Download MS04-011 critical update of Windows 2000/XP (835732)

sweet, but iwas wondering if serivice pack 2 is worth downloading, since it thas all the security stuff and all, but i heard it blocks connections so it messes up bit torrnet?

i am not using sp2 because i found that it slowed my pc down . but if you want to use it that is your choice it might solve your problem and if you dont like the results of sp2 you can uninstall it in add remove

Got another pop up:




now I'm totally confused as to how i got this with a fresh wnidowx install and format of C, and i never had problems with this before


Oh when i was formatting, there was an 8mb section that i couldnt format but that was probobly the hd cache?

ok, lemme explain to u wat is goin on
that is a spam! period, dun listen to its bullshit

how did u get it? simple, there's this OS service known as Windows Messenger that makes it easy for those bloody companies to send such spam to u

before i move on to how to disable it, i wanna assure u...this Windows Messenger service has nuthin to do with ur MSN Messenger, ICQ, AIM, YAHOO and etc. this is a microsoft service, not an instant chat app

also, there is another instant chat app that is also named Windows Messenger which looks like MSN Messenger. that is harmless.
(yes both of them have the same name so dun get too confused bout it)

now press Win key + r, type services.msc, on ur right column, hunt for the word "Windows Messenger"
double click it, now click Stop and then from the Enable combobox, choose Disable, apply ur settings and u will be fine

glad that has helped you out

this program can block alot of the things that microsoft use to spy on you . it will shutdown automatic updates so you will have to activate that when you want to update then you can shut it down again if you want.
