[Bloomy]

I would like to ask if any one has found this update useful.

[boxtops]

I've never heard of it....

[Bloomy]

Its included in windows updates.
Start>Mrt

[WyeDyed]

It has never reported any successes or failures to me.

[boxtops]

I trust my Norton, that reports to us regularly

[Bloomy]

I wonder why Microsoft do it.

[WyeDyed]

I wonder that about much of Microsoft's operating systems.

[frugalfred]

I used to have a malicious tool....

[berniecuddles]

lol

[Bloomy]

Is it an admission Microsoft Security essentials or defender isn't up to standard. I fail to see the need for a supplementary cross platform update if that isn't the case.

[Bloomy]

Thanks methyl. They probably write most of them themselves lol. I agree its 3rd party, scripts, flash, Java etc...

oh and the other poster on this thread saying about running it manually was me.
