I would suggest that everyone run the following program on your wintel pc and see how secure you are aa

Also make sure that you are using a non-admin/power user account for your day to day activities.



Thanks for the link.

Question:  When you download the update installers and install them, do you have to keep the updater that you just downloaded?  I save them to the desk top and then install them can I trash them after it is done?
