Fair warning.... I recently decided to fully update my copy of W2K, largely to try and stop that blaster thing should I foget to start me firewall.  Anyways, I accepted all the recommended updates, including to IE6.  As a result, the browser is completely ****ed up, and is unable to open a new window (i.e. clicking on a link or desktop shortcut), or run alongside outlook express.  Plus my entire Pc seems to be running substantially slower.

And I'm monumentally pissed off.

Virus? Probably?

Well, my scanner (the free AVG one)  & firewall is completely up to date, and I've scanned everything, so i doubt it.

Very strange.  How long since your last reinstall?

Whoever runs Microsofts suggested 'updates' needs to be shot.

Have fun with your own bit of Microsoft home-made spyware (could also be called crashware, but it's amazingly stable when trying to find the microsoft homepage to send all your data)

and whoever doesn't needs to be shot too...

Tard: I have Blaster what do I do?
Support: Did you get the patch?
Tard: What patch?
Support: The patch MS released months ago to fix the vulnerability Blaster exploits
Tard: Oh no, a friend who is like, really knowledgable with PCs and stuff told me that all MS updates are spyware so I didn't bother
Support: *hangs up*

Tard: Hello Microsoft support how can we help you?
User: Hi I just installed your patch, I assumed it would work as I paid an appreciable amount for your software that wasn't exactly right in the first place.
Tard: Due to the nature of these patches we cannot guarantee that they will work.
User: Why? Surely with the amount of money you make you should be able to release something that works? Hasn't something accidently slipped through that was bug free?
Tard: *with an air of sarcasm* Have you ever tried to make money? You must realise that if we do not release flawed software that we cannot force you to upgrade and thus protect your rights by enforcing wholly unfair restrictions on how you utilise our product.
User: Why are you not answering any of my questions?
Tard: *with an air of 'he's on to me'* *hangs up*

That's optimistic.  

This is the second time win2k has fecked up on me for no appreciable reason - the last time was because I installed a freeserve connection program.

Because they held a gun to my head.

I have exorcised freeserve from my Pc, don;t worry.
