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.gif

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..)

or mabye it was slowday444 but was unable to finish his topic due to super natural stuff........spooky............. unsure.gif

yes that update was annoying as it hit you with what seemed to be everything at once but i am sure that windows knows what they are doing and it wasn't just to piss people off dry.gif

There was another post like this in the CCleaner forum I opened it and it was empty except for the title....

I don't think its there anymore.

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.gif

got all my updates,but theres always 2 updates that will never install,dunno why
did i see some update about a windows malicious removal tool thingy?
rridgely
Yeah, the update that thing every patch tuesday now.
Its just a small tool that checks for a few worms like sasser and stuff.

You can run a full scan via : start > run > type mrt > ok.
rridgely
Pretty cool, I didn't know that. smile.gif
I think it scans when you install it right?

I've never really thought about it that much. tongue.gif

But of course you need to download the newest version, either with Automatic Updates, Windows Update, or from this download link.
XanaTos112
possibly a stupid Q smile.gif but is the windows malicious removal tool any good?

Yes I think it scans automatically, in the background, on install. After that you can run it whenever you like via Start. Run> mrt.

Don't know if it's any good though. unsure.gif

In a similar vein, I posted in Lounge > Oscar Nominations > post#17, and although it is there, it does not show up on the main topic screen. wink.gif

XanaTos112, who I was replying to, probably has no idea it`s there. Until now.

The malicious software removal tool is for removing only a select few infections.(worms mostly like sasser, blaster, ect)
The infections it removes can be removed by pretty much any decent antivirus. So for us its not really doing anything.

The tool was made to prevent the epidemic like spread of those infections to machines that aren't kept up.(you know 99% of all computers. tongue.gif)

Here is a list of all the infections it fixes:
