Is your software as UP TO DATE as it could be? Latest Update Announcements!

[smurfy]

This thread intended to be a place to alert members when important updates
to their software and operating system become available.

Please only post announcements of the updates in this thread - subsequent
discussion about any update should be in a general topic in the forum relevant
to the update (I will be removing non-complying posts to keep this thread
readable and to a manageable size). If an update replaces one already posted
in the thread, i will try to remove the out-of date one (Please feel free to PM
me if you post one and notice it should replace an existing one).

It will remain a "sticky" at the top of this forum.

To start with, I'll link to a couple of important places to look if you want to
check for updates yourself:

************************************
Microsft On-line Windows Update
************************************
Calendar of Updates (Thanks Fuelm@n for that one!)
************************************
Mandrake Linux Updates
************************************


This topic is a reponse to the suggestions made in the Feedback forum.

There is a new thread in the new Security News forum:

http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...hreadid=171071

Please could all updates for Spybot, Adaware, Anti-Virus (and all other Security/Privacy-type) programs go there from this point on, and we'll keep this thread for updates to general software.

Thanks.

If you don't want Adobe Yahoo! Toolbar and the Photoshop Album 2.0 Starter Edition software uncheck the boxes before downloading the Reader.

Re: LindaHewitt's post.
Not sure whether this is the update she refers to.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS05-023.mspx
It is for

• Microsoft Word 2000 and Microsoft Works Suite 2001

• Microsoft Word 2002, Microsoft Works Suite 2002, Microsoft Works Suite 2003, and Microsoft Works Suite 2004 -

• Microsoft Office Word 2003
• Microsoft Word 2003 Viewer

And it is called a Critical Update by MS. For some reason it was not offered to me at the Microsoft (Windows) Update site.
