Free windows security update CD

[Guest]

Just remember this acronym: PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)

Lately I've been receiving a lot of email from people I don't know. They all (the topic lines) sound like real email (usually a response), but from oddball source addresses, all with an attachment, and all 35k. I know that description is vague, but that's the best I can do without opening the email. Any ideas on what it is?

That is probably the netsky virus. Not spam as Gwar suggestions ;-) Anyway, the security update CD's are often available with a lot of the latest patches on them, but if you are using Windows Update then you shouldn't even need it.

When SP2 comes out later on this year, that'll be the one you definately want on CD with it being over 256mb. I checked out the download times, 4 hours on DSL (512k I believe), 11 hours on a 56k modem. Interestingly, they didn't list a 28.8k speed like they usually do.. (2 weeks ? ).
