Do I need to Update Windows???

[Choto Cheeta]

One thing to note here, Right now updater 5 is not supported any more, so even u just use autoupdate, by default Microsoft will install updater version 6, now which is under windows genuine advantage... !!!!

*update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

So theoritically to install v6 updater, one must have genuine Windows, so before autoupdate checks the system for update, it would check whether its Genuine or not, so its kind of Force full installation of v6 updater there after the Genuine Advantage tool too..



once again, I dont have any offcial info on it yet

Ok what about not activating the auto update feature and updating via the Update packs (Auto patcher)that comes along with all these computer magazines...

 

[Choto Cheeta]

^^^

Auto Patcher only comes with Recomended and Critical updates... where as there are many update patches which are developed for certain system devices, there are many Drivers too, so Microsoft online update checks those too and installs them where those are needed, this is not available with Auto Patcher or such...

Choto, u might find this tutorial helpful

always BEST to keep it updated. but if u r unable to do do so, for whatever reasons, use (and now preserve) the latest autopatcher to install the (critical) updates atleast. along with these and ur 3rd party freeware av+fw+as, yr xp/sp2, should be safe enough.
