Only as a last resort. It is much safer to uninstall the updates, from the
Add/Remove Programs control panel.

I wouldn't have sleepless nights ove this because Microsoft Updates
aren't what they are supposed to be. Microsoft updates are there to spy
on what you are doing. Once the job is finished, they are removed next
month and new ones installed to do something else. This process
continues until the authorities (FBI and CIA mainly) decide to target
something else.

Don't forget USA is paranoid about all things Alqueda, Taliban and
Muslims. You are of Turkish decent and so you were unfortunate to have
this experience but hey who cares? You have XP Professional so enjoy it
while it is there because next month it might revert back to XP Home
edition or even "N" version.

Don't waste your time on Microsoft Updates because Computer Security and
Microsoft Products have never been compatible with each other.

Update sare designed to target certain people of certain religion and
these are updated evey month to assure us that the authorities are
looking after our security in the guise of computer security!! I have
not installed any updates since SP3 was released and I have no intention
of installing any. The only exception is Windows 7 where I have already
installed about 142 updates since I bought my system last November from
DELL! This will will change when I am satisfied that Win7 is no longer
a beta version or when SP1 is released!!

You shouldn't waste your time posting. Intelligent thought and you have
never been compatible with each other.
