plus - with the viruses out there that can attack if a system isn't up to date, having the cd for a new system is n asset. I had heard of numerous people getting infected in just the time it took to get online to update their anti-virus software and to download the windows updates - didn't sound like fun!! This cd doesn't cover the most recent windows updates - Cris ----- Original Message ----- From: Glo To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, April 04, 2004 3:22 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Microsoft CD Security Update Lacey, I think the purpose of the update CD is mostly if you have to reinstall your OS you would have all the updates on the CD without searching all over creation for them. Also good for those who have not kept up with necessary updates to their systems, somebody pls correct me if I'm wrong. ~Glo --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
