I like the pretty graphs I can get off our servers telling us how many of each virus got detected today in our company. :D -Qyiet |

| 381800 | 2005-09-03 00:23:00 | Well, for some reason, Windows Update has stopped working on this PC which is running XP Pro SP2/IE 6. When I try to connect to Windows Update, the MS site insists that I am not running IE 6 and it tells me I have to download the whole mess all over again. I remembered this thread, installed the Firefox plugin, and voila, updated Windoze. Less hassle and lots faster than the usual method using IE6. Now to do a scan for nasties... |
