No, "you should not uninstall" any security patches listed in the

| No, you should "uninstall" any security patches listed in the
| Add or Remove Programs section. They are listed there in case
| your computer does not function properly after they are installed.
| Uninstalling them will uninstall the actual patch.
|
| If you wish to safely remove the "uninstall files" for the
| Hotfixes (i.e. $NtUninstallQxxxxxx$ files shown in Windows Explorer)
| and cleanup your Add/Remove Programs list, visit MS-MVP Doug Knox's
| excellent website for instructions.

| Remove Hotfix Backup files and the Add/Remove Programs Registry entries

| Note: Doug's program only removes the uninstall files and Hotfix entries
| in the Add/Remove Programs listing. It does not remove the
| actual updates.
