Ran Windows Update today...

[Hohum]

Relatively uninteresting topic you'd think, but saw that the download size for one of the updates was massive (68MB). Anyway, on checking information on it, it turns out it's this update:

Now, apart from Obama, what the hell are the rest of those? More importantly, 68 meg critical update to a dictionary for those 'words'? You have got to be kidding me.

Anyway, just thought I'd share that.

You don't know what those words mean? You're such a klum.

[kernow]

haha, what the hell?

Did anyone have this problem with the latest Windows Update, and Zonealarm? I thought it was a problem with my crappy router at first.

yeah i coundn't get online this morning on my PC but was able to on my Phone via Wi-Fi. I did a system restore and it worked after..... i have a few friends who can't get online.. will shutting down Zonealarm enable it?

[Hohum]

Turning off Zonealarm will fix it, as will updating to the latest version.

[Mayhem]

Either reducing security level from high to medium will work, or download the patch they released yesterday for it.

[Roddie]

A critical update if I ever saw one.

My Vista box did a critical update and when it rebooted it was running XP

You'd have to be a bit of a spanner to not just add them to the dictionary if you need them really, wouldn't you? Why's it 68MB? That's drunken madness.
I'm still running XP Pro SP3 anyway, sod Vista.
