I started out with a slipstreamed SP2, then installed SP3. ..never paid much attention to things.

I'm not even sure if I have WGA passed yet.. it asked me once to do it and I clicked no, but it still updated SP1 and SP2 into my comp.. I thought it wouldnt proceed until i did it but it updated nevertheless. it keeps asking me time to time, i click no, and it goes away. Not sure if it automatically did it yet, haven't been paying attention in a while. but yea, I started up my comp once and it auto updated something and restarted comp.. maybe it did it there.

I always just download Windows Defender and install it. It validates really quick and it's out of the way that way.

I try to stay off MicroShafts web site, every time you go over there it takes an hour to find your butt.

Been sorta holding off on doing a full system reinstall until SP3 comes out. Looks like it's about time.

I tried the Defender thing a while back and it didn't work worth a crap, I just use Ad-Aware and Avast to protect my system................ Grin
