Windows Update for Win XP Home

[Lisa Hetherington]

I ran Windows update on my 36 hour old system and I have 28!! critical
updates to install. Should I go ahead with them all?? One at at time? All
at once?
Heard good and bad about these updates from MS. Kind of scary

Hi Lisa

You ought to accept all of the critical/security updates, but may I suggest that you install them 2/3 at a time - that way if you do have any problems you will only have those 2/3 updates to check on.

Yes, get them .. if you don't you'll have MSBlaster worm (etc. etc.) all
over your computer in no time (until you have them installed, keep your
firewall up). Personally I'd install 'a few' (6 maybe) at a time - makes
it easier to back out if something causes a problem.
