• Can I safely remove old security updates Windows

  I have Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3. I checked my system under ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS and I have a lot of updates:

  Security updates and the updates for Microsoft Office 2007 products
  Security updates and updates for Microsoft Internet Explorer 8
  Security updates and updates for Microsoft Windows XP
  Security updates and the updates for Windows Media Center Edition 2005
  Various fixes
  Old Service Pack updates (Windows XP, Office, etc.).

  My Questions: Because they use a lot of space, one of these files are eliminated using Add / REMOVE PROGRAMS ? They don't are not already installed or removing them would make them not secure against threats that they were supposed to challenge?

  Thank you.

  I doubt they use all that much space (compared to your stuff) - and if you run lack of space - it is a different matter. a not better resolved by removing the updates/patches.  :-)

  Do not delete those using Add / Remove programs.  That would be, at best, careless.  To uninstall, so that updates are, do not remove the updates (updates would be removed automatically when you remove the product that they fixed.)

  Want to clean and to get that machine works best?  Here are a few suggestions that * is * help.

  Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

  You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

  Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

  (Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

  and...

  Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
  http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
  ... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on the root of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  Now that your system is generally free of malicious software (assuming you have an AntiVirus application), you've cleaned the "additional applications" that could be running and picking up your precious memory and the processor, you have authorized out of valuable and makes disk space as there are no problems with the drive itself and your Windows Update components are updates and should work fine - it is only only one other thing you pouvez wish to make:

  Get and install the hardware device last drivers for your system hardware/system manufacturers support and/or download web site.

  If you want, come back and let us know a bit more information on your system - particularly the brand / model of the system, you have - and maybe someone here can guide you to the place s x of law to this end.  This isn't 100% necessary - but I'd be willing to bet that you would gain some performance and features in making this part.

  Hello

   
  You are able to install other updates successfully?
   
  See the methods mentioned below and check if that helps.
   
  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
