So there's another critical update - "We definitely want
people to apply this one," said Jeff Jones, Microsoft's
senior director for trustworthy computing.
If its that critical, you'd think that MS would make
finding the patch easy.

Instead I have to wade through the system scan that the
web site does to tell me that I need to install 22
patches - not one of which is the latest critical update.
And I know this machine has the vulnerability...

How about a simple "this is the problem - now download
this patch" solution.

Or am I the only one that thinks that if there a
straightforward solution or a complex solution MS will
take the second option every time.

Many critical updates must be installed before installing newer updates.
I suggest you visit the Windows Update website, download and install
ALL the recommended critical updates. If you have not yet installed
Service Pack 1, you need to install it first.

installed. "NOT" HELP
