all illegal Windows XP users WILL NOT be able to download any updates or software from Microsoft website.
Automatic Updates will no longer work, because Microsoft will have to ask for your Software identification. |

I never download updates. I just keep selecting the "Remind me Tomorrow" option. Do the updates really do anything significant? Are they worthless, or should I start downloading them?

Well, YEAH! You better start updating now because one of the most important reasons Microsoft is releasing updates is because Windows is hackable, so every update changes your system information, so that nobody will be able to hack. The updates also include bug fixes and additional security.

It's generally possible to get the updates without using the Automatic Update feature. I don't bother getting the updates at all, though.

You should always keep Windows up-to-date. Most of these will patch up the security flaws discovered in Windows. Others, like upgrading to XP SP2, will provide newer security features like the much improved Windows Firewall.

To all of those that say they don't mind with the updates please do me a favor. Click the start button > run, and type cmd, enter. From the command prompt type "ipconfig" and then enter again. Post your "ip address" for each adaptor back to this group. The ip should be in the form similar to "192.168.0.1". After you have done so I will consult with my friends over at http://www.astahost.com/security-issues-an...loits-f105.html and see if we can work something out  Of course I am joking but you are a moron if you don't update your machine. Moron in the nicest possible way of course. As it turns out, I found out about the new serial security about 4-5 months ago when I tried to download a "free" microsoft trial product. You had to allow this ActiveX code to run before you could download. As it turns out it looked at my XP serial and found me to be in violation and shortly sent me to the anti-pirarcy page. If you go to the IT side of the windows updates you can always download without hassle. Its just important that you check all the time as you will not get that pretty little notice in your system tray. Don't be a moron, update!

QUOTE If i was Bill gates i wud get hold of latest hackers and Plan making my software anti crack proof.! Ok, there is only one problem with this. I'm not sure if you guys have ever used any of the Steinberg software (Mainly designed for music recording/mastering). Anyway, their latest range of software, uses some really extreme protection. It was assumed that it was so thorough, that it couldn't be cracked. To crack it, the crackers had to make an emulator for a dongle that comes with the product. If this dongle isn't inserted in your computer when you use the program, it terminates. Now the thing is, the crackers still cracked this (took a lot of time and effort mind you!) but the crazy thing is that this copy protection took up almost half the actual program. And where am I headed with this? Well, if the protection is taking up a majority of the software, wouldn't one assume that the program is going to take a hit from this and wouldn't that mean that it won't run as well as it could? I mean lets face it, even if Bill Gates did hire some extreme crackers, and then they make Windows Whatever almost bomb proof, crackers will still (eventually) find a way around it and eitherway who in their right mind would buy a product bogged down with such excessive protection? I know I wouldn't.

I'm hoping my copy doesn't get caught since its pro corporate and those keys all get used widely legally so... *crosses fingers* but either way all that happens is they are planning to shut down your ability to update and give you offers to buy a legal copy more cheaply, which in reality is good of them I guess. Either way if you care enough you can get the updates without going thru windows updates, just find people who have posted or seeded or whatever the hotfix patches.

Well the security updates is only ****, have done this before and downloaded the latest updates. Guess what happened? Well the computer just got slower and slower. And a good firewall fixes all the issues anyways, well maybe not if you are up against a "1337 hacker" but if someone wants to mess with my computer that are so good (no scripkiddie) then they probably have too much time on their hand. 99.99% of all the infections is from: Pornsurfing and downloading suspicius files Which a experienced user just don't do. (well not searching for "porn" on google anyway). To conclude it: *Security updates isn't of any value, it is more likely to mess up your computer after a while. *A good firewall will be enough *The only way you would attract attention from a 1337 hacker is if you act like a jerk on the webb and then you "had it coming" *Don't download suspicius files and don't surf the whole webb for porn, even with the latest updates this won't protect you from getting viruses/trojans/malware Well this is my thoughts of this and if by a chance of a million I would get hacked and my computer would get messed up then I would just reinstall it (I do this every now and then anyway) and I'm not stupid enought not to have backups on all of my important files. -reply by Ollli

Why I May Be Installing Windows Xp Sp3 Again

Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (17) I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP

the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
