It is important to install all the updates popping up on my computer?
Installation of updates
You need install all the critical updates in order to preserve the safety of various exploits of hackers and malware from your Vista. Also called security updates, these loopholes hackers have found to enter your system somehow. Important updates correct various problems of performance. All updates are designed to prevent potential problems and enhance your Windows experience.
Normally, the new updates are available on Windows Update the second Tuesday (aka "Patch Tuesday") of each month. Occaisionally updates are also available on the fourth Tuesday as well, but the vast majority is released on Patch Tuesday. The only time when Windows updates are offered to other dates is when an update is critical at the moment, which means that Microsoft has detected an imminent danger of criticism for its users.
Office updates follow the same pattern.
There are other Microsoft products including the team out of updates on a different schedule, but who do not concern most users.
I recommend to use the automatic updates and install programs. Keep your Windows up-to-date protects your investment in your computer.

I don't know what is COM Surrogate. It lights up just on the screen and I don't know why! He just tells me to install important updates, what I've done.
Hi Carolina,.
According to Alexander in this thread of TechNet:"COM Surrogate (dllhost.exe) is an application that is often used by Windows Explorer to isolate themselves from codecs (if explore would be the codecs in its own process, it would crash as it did in XP, so explore generates dllhost to actually treat the miniatures, etc outside its process space)."There are a few things that people have done to solve the problem.1. If you have Nero or Roxio Easy CD Creator installed, try to uninstall it to see if this problem is still happening.' 2 ' Kiifer ' reported that checking the "Always show icons" option in folder options seems to have solved their problem.Click Start > click computer > press the Alt key to bring up the menu option Tools > click on options files > click the View tab > check the box for always show icons, never thumbnails. This is the first check box under files and folders.Please keep us updated. -
Do not install all the updates of windows 7
I continue to have this problem, even though I tried each index shown in previous messages here. The only update that never installs successfully in one for Windows Defender. This whole situation makes this computer basically useless, because whenever I stopped him, he wants to install updates to 50-60. Yes, I tried FIXIT, turning off av software, Defender off. Clean boot and all to nothing does not. Is there something new to try?
I am running Win 7 Home premium on an HP G60t-200 using an SSD for the one and only disk.
Two of my Win 7 Pro offices appear to update without any problem.
Has anyone ever found this problem?
I appreciate the answers to this question, but I wasn't able to try them. My situation has become a matter of time. Because I had a recent upward, I just reformat the disk (SSD) and reinstalled the operating system from scratch. Then found that I need to backup and was on my way. After installation then again, of course things were behind many updates. I have just let sit overnight and the next day all updates were completed successfully.
The info about BIT was deposited in my account information.
Thanks for the replies

What happens to my all the updates, if I Re install Win 7 new
After 3 years, I found that the supporter of Windows 7 (70 GB) is full in my hard drive, can be due to many UPDATES all these years. Because I don't know how to free up space on this drive, I decided to re - install Windows 7 again. In this case, what happens to all my received UPDATES earlier. Do I have to download all the UPDATES again? Help, please
Yes, you will need to submit a new application of updates after reinstall. However some later updates are in fact replaced by later that the results can be more effective. I also download and manually apply service packs on new construction as allows me to apply the setting "nobackup.
On the last one I made after that the SPs, I had a little less than 100 updates to apply to the wide then came running clean disk with the option to clean the system files to delete history of update files.

Pop up and the risks of malware without all the updates
Hello
I recently bought a MBP of the retina.
When I start the MBP I visited directly a website on safari to learn how to use, "debutersurmac.com."
Updates was not finished (I was downloading El capitan) and a pop up came up with this message (in French):
"Your MB have been infected...".
At the bottom right has a button to close",
I closed safari directly and then I saw the message, had no time to screen printing...
One moment, the site was in my story, but now is not.
The name of the site is: //win support error / /...
Is that what someone did already saw this pop up?
I did not click on close, but can it be risky to the MBP without all the updates installed?
On Mac it is possible to see if the Web site installed something?
Thanks in advance,
Sorry for the English, I was not talking since college.
PS: I just started on Mac 2 hours...
Force Quit Safari by using the command + Option + ESC keyboard shortcut then restart Safari while holding down the SHIFT key.
After Safari re lance go in the menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab, then click: delete all data from the Web site then leave then restart Safari.

Hi Mike,.
Thanks for the reply, the steps were actually written originally for Windows XP and are still valid. As you can see in the SubinACL download it is designed to work in all versions of windows.

Installed all the drivers from HP for HP17-3077NR site, still a PCI device is uninstalled
Hi all
I had recently no other choice, then to reinstall Windows 7 64 bit on my HP Envy 17-3077NR. Everything works well so far, but I noticed that in Device Manager, a PCI device seems not to be installed. I tried an extensive search on the internet, has tried to update the driver on Windows. Uninstalled the resettled drivers and the device new & again. I installed all the drivers from the hp website for my 17-3077nr, but still a PCI device is uninstalled. Nothing seems to work. This is the first time that I am reaching out in a forum, because I'm desperate.
Anyone have an idea I was not yet executed?

Can not get on PC Win7 SP1 10 app despite all the updates window.
Hi, I can't get 10 App window on my PC in Win7 SP1 despite all the updates. I ran the utility software troubleshooting GWA and he said that my PC is not up-to-date. I had followed all the instructions on the troubleshooting page. Under my computer properties, it shows that my Windows 7 is genuine and SP1. I can not find the service pack SP1 showing installed in my control panel in the installed updates. I tried to reinstall SP1, but it said I already had SP1. Following the instruction on the Windows 7 SP1 download page, I tried to uninstall the SP1 that is currently on my PC using the command-line option, but he says that I don't have SP1 installed. (So confused) Someone has the same problem and knows how to solve?
