I may see what happens if I do this - I have never refused a security update
though. Occasionally, it will say it failed. but when I try again, it will be
successful.
However ! that DSO exploit that I mentioned earlier - I wrote to the forum for
spybot because I saw a reference there already about it. They claim that this
hole was already patched by microsoft -like in 2002 !! so if it is patched, and
my windows updates are all up to date, why is mine not patched?
Interesting, isn't it?
I'm going to go to microsoft's site and do some reading I think!! when I have
some free time! navagating there is sometimes half the battle!

Retrieve declined Windows Update Reminders
As you know, Microsoft's Windows Update feature scans your
computer and provides you with updates that apply only to the
software and hardware you have installed. The updates include
security fixes, drivers, critical updates, and the latest Help
files to keep your computer current. However, there may be times
when you elect not to install a specific update that has been
downloaded, and as a result, Windows deletes the update files
from your system. If you happen to reconsider this later on and
wish you could go back and download the declined updates, you'll
be relieved to know you can.
Click the Start button and choose Control Panel. In Category
view click on the Performance And Maintenance link, and then
click on the System link. In Classic view, double-click on the
System icon. Select the Automatic Updates tab, and then click the
Restore Declined Updates button. If any of the updates you
previously declined still apply to your computer, they will
appear the next time Windows notifies you of available updates.
Keep in mind that you can always install specific updates from
the Windows Update Web site, by opening Windows Update via the
Help And Support Center.
