I had Norton Internet Security 2004 running on my laptop until a few days ago. Then I installed the 2006 version. With the 2004 version I had no problems with the Windows Updates, the system always asked me before it started downloading updates from the Windows website and I could decide if proceeding or not. Now since I have the Norton 2006 version the Windows Updates start automatically. I changed the settings on the laptop to “always ask me before the download starts” and I changed the settings also in Norton. Now Norton shows always alert status, and even if the automatic updates in Norton are disabled, the update window pops up every few minutes. It bothers me. I don’t want to download acritically ALL what Microsoft thinks it should put onto my pc.
How can I fix this?
What do you all do with those updates?
Are they all really necessary?Some time ago I heard from a pc specialist that I shouldn’t update to Service Pack II, and I still have the I….
Some help and advice in this matter is highly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!
Greetings – as to service pack 2 thats more a personal choice some users have reported errors with a few programs but most have been fixed with new patches etc. I have had no issues with anything Im running and Im running the first version of XP – so I hope that helps.
As to you norton 2006 had a few ppl bail me up with it – personaly I dont use it no more but if you just want to d/load important updates just do it manually and turn off you update option from control panel >> automatic updates or from control panel >> security centre and then you can download manually from Windows update site using the option of “Custom install” and select what updates you require.
As to requirements and actually d/load them – well if you want to keep your progs and security holes patched and fixing errors that are reported/found then yes I would strongly recommend them.
