567586 2007-07-10 06:21:00 Hi folks,
I've just noticed in CCleaner that I have a great pile of MS. stuff:: security updates, win XP updates & hotfixes, can someone tell me if this stuff is supposed to stay or be removed,
thanks, don g.

567587 2007-07-10 06:26:00 Where are these entries in ccleaner?

Tools/uninstall tab??

If theyre here, then no, dont uninstall them.

These are the same updates/hotfixes in add/remove programs.

567589 2007-07-12 03:04:00 Because theyre security updates.

Uninstall them if u like. You'll have to reinstall them later.

Tick show updates in add/remove programs, if u have XP SP2. Then you'll see them.

567590 2007-07-12 10:03:00 The Microsoft updates don't show on the uninstall section of CCleaner - at least not on my PC.

I would imagine you have the Hotfix Uninstallers ticked under the advanced options. This will remove your Windows Updates from WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB$, so you will not be able uninstall the Windows Updates.

In other words it will remove the option to uninstall them, it will not uninstall the updates themselves.
