MS05-019 security update concern

[Mark]

Does installing Microsoft security update MS05-019 cause more problems in Windows XP (and Windows 2000) system where it can cause DoS attacks? I thought I read an article somewhere that installing this flawed security update can cause more problems and its best to wait for Microsoft to re-release MS05-019.

I am asking to get clarification on the MS05-019 security update patch.

Thanks.

Hi Mark,

That update has caused some connectivity issues, not any security issues,
details here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898060

There is also both a *free* hotfix available as well as a documented
workaround, both of which are described in the above link. You should
install the update, and only remove it if it is causing the isolated problem
listed above and the fixes do not work. The update is scheduled to be
rereleased in June 2005.

I have been experience many Internet, VPN, and LAN connectivity problems in the past several weeks and I do have MS05-019 security update installed. Due to the majority Windows users responses of "your probably infected", I have been reguraly running anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-this-n-that to make sure no malware is running in XP. My XP system is clean based on those programs. Since Microsoft is so vulnerable to problems, its nearly impossible to know what is actually causing the problem. After reading about this security update, I wonder if this has been causing my problems.

Diagnosing and troubleshooting problems in Windows is such a chore now of days.

You have to contact M$ to get the hotfix, so it may be free, but not hassle-free.

And/or


2.) Uninstall the MS05-19.

You have to contact M$ to get the hotfix, so it may be free, but not
hassle-free.

And if you have an OEM copy of XP they will pawn you off on the OEM that
supplied you withXP to get the Hotfix, and calling them up, they'll send
you back to MS.

If you are running behind a firewall, and running the latest AV defs,
you should be reasonably safe if you uninstall the patch until it is
rereleased next month.

I've had no problems getting them, and no hassles. Just ask for the hotfix
by article number, you do not need to explain anything else.

Yeah, but I'd still try. If the phone rep, blows you off, ask to speak
with a supervisor. And explain calmly and rationally that you aren't
looking for support on your OEM software, but on the flawed patched.

You might get lucky.

Diagnosing and troubleshooting problems in Windows is such a chore now of
days.

Then I guess it's time that you investigate an alternative to Windoze.
Personally, I'd recommend GNU/Linux. It's allowed me to get away from the
Windoze BS and on to a real secure, functional, FREE and fun to use OS that
has 100x's the power of Windoze.

Checkout Mandriva or SuSE for a couple of real easy to install and very
user-friendly Linux distributions.

A. If their reply comes BEFORE what they are quoting, they probably use
Outlook Express under Windoze.
Q. How can I tell what OS a Usenet poster runs?

Nothing! But it is a way to get away from the chore of "diagnosing and
troubleshooting problems in Windows" that Mark was lamenting. Are you
incapable of reading and comprehending a message?

Like you ever stay "on topic" in terms of subjects in threads. Now screw off
and go play at your mickeyscrum.

Exactly!

But it is a way to get away from the chore of "diagnosing and
troubleshooting problems in Windows" that Mark was lamenting.

And exchange that for learning how to use Linux. Exchanging one chore
for another.

Are you
incapable of reading and comprehending a message?

Seems you are incapable of not trolling for Linux! This is a Windows
peer to peer support group. If you'd like to advocate for Linux, you
can always troll to your hearts content at comp.os.linux.advocacy.

Like you ever stay "on topic" in terms of subjects in threads.

Actually, I try to be, but will follow someone off-topic when they are
making a fool out of themself. Just like now.

Now
screw off and go play at your mickeyscrum.

LOL! Troll is having a temper tantrum! Poor baby!

"support group"??? Is that why you offer support like the following (and I'm
quoting one of your posts today) ...

". . . . until you went messing around into stuff you didn't understand,
and now you want someone to bail you out of your self-created mess."

.... and then suggested he reformat his hard drive and re-install XP, because
he screwed up his own system and that should teach him a lesson.

At least my postings try to help other computer users, not just demean them.

Yep. Some people need negative reinforcement to learn from. Giving a
moron an easy fix to a problem he/she created on their own is just
enabling them to do some more stupid things with their computer.

At least my postings try to help other computer users,

By getting them to switch their windows problems for linux problems.
And Linux advocacy posts belong in COLA.

not just
demean them.

I didn't do it to demean. It's called tough love.

In regards to the signature... its top posting because that is how OE6 defaults and its easier to just top post.

Many people that use OE don't top post, though I don't have a problem
with those people that top post out of personal choice.
