My dial-up modem is weeping, I seriously need a high-speed connection just to keep up with the OS updates let alone everything else. Damn Windows.
It's of no surprise that there's more patches, actually was expecting it.

Well maybe a day. This time round I'll probably just order the CD even if it costs some money.

My Automatic Update setting is set to "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them."

It makes so it automatically checks for new updates but don't download or install anything without my approval.

I have also uninstalled WGA.
