  1. Dec-13, 6:54pm CST XP just did its weekly scan and found 6 critical updates. Yesterday I ran a scan manually after agissi said he got one, it found nothing. I find this a bit irritating, as MS says no updates this month, then releases 6 at one time. If the majority of users know about this claim MS has made, its surely to make them think that it is some exploit rather than a real critical update. The thought crossed my mind anyway. If you go to the Win update site and scan, it seems they have since been combined into two updates rather than the six I was first alerted to.
  2. Thats odd, I have checked today and yesterday after reading this thread - I see no critical updates needed for my system except SP1. But that may be why - since I dont' have SP1.
  3. Same here Dave, the only thing I still have is the SP1 Express Critical Update. I think I might just do that and see what happens wtih my VPN connection. And then I'll report back as to whether or not I have more critical afterwards. But I don't see why I would as if I don't have it yet, it should be available NOW, not after SP1 is installed.
