What the hell?
This topic was created by slowday444 and when I clicked it there was no post... So I responded and got the first post in the topic. :huh:

Anyway there were a bunch of updates today so get them if you haven't.
I noticed that there was even a security update to IE6 if you don't have IE7 installed. So if they are going to still support it and you hate IE7, it should still be about as safe to use 6 as it always was.(which isn't very..)

They have updated the error reporting tool.

It's now wider and has a close when finished check box for when you upload the report.

Found this out cause Windows Live Messenger crashed when I finished restarting after updating, which autoupdate didn't pick up I had to go to the Windows Update page to get (14 High rated updates)...

I ended up having to get all 17 updates available for my PC from Microsoft Updates. Automatic updates really is a total complete p.o.s. because it never even triggered until of course the updates were already downloading from Microsoft Updates. :rolleyes:

Pretty cool, I didn't know that. :)
I think it scans when you install it right?

I've never really thought about it that much. :P

But of course you need to download the newest version, either with Automatic Updates, Windows Update, or from this download link.
