• How to remove windows xp security updates installed automatically

  recently, I installed windows xp. The system has automatically downloaded and installed from many windows xp security updates, which slowed the system. also, how open internet browser like IE8/Google chrome/Firefox, the system crashes, but the system speeds up after a while. I always find AVG antivirus free edition is updated at the start of the system upward during which the problem above. can you suggest how to fix it?

  Chances are, AVG is you slow down because it downloads the latest anti-virus definition files and will then scan your computer. You can set how often you want these updates. Personally I have mine to search every day and will take the hit on his speed to get the latest definition files. Depending on how your system is configured, it will also look at the updates for other programs / Windows as well and download.

  I hope this helps.

  Update KB2631813 for Windows XP security repeatedly failed to install - error code 0 x 8007003. All other updates install successfully. None of the proposed solutions have worked so far including clear update history.

  should [1] I really KB2631813?

  [2] my computer seems not to like it.

  [3] do you think that KB2631813 is really all this effort?

  A1. Yes, as much as you need at every update of safety critical other.

  Note that the vulnerability being patched (e.g., MS12-004) requires KB2598479 and KB2631813 to install! IOW, your computer is still vulnerable to the exploit if if KB2631813 is not installed.

  A2. Your computer 'loved' KB975562 (which is replaced or replaced by KB2631813), so it should also 'like' KB2631813.

  A3. Is the security of your computer and data to this topic (e.g., banking online & credit card passwords) really this effort?

• I get message "not enough space on drive" when I check Add/Remove items, I noticed that the Windows XP security updates takes a huge amount of space? What can I do to reduce or fix it? __

  Free space on drive C - Windows XP Security takes a large amount of space.

  Beachaven,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!

  How much space you show the updates of security take?

  It is recommended to leave all the updates security installed and continue to keep your computer up-to-date with Windows Update. Remove these updates will make your computer vulnerable to malicious software. If you need to erase the disk space, I recommend to uninstall old programs that are no longer in use. You can also check the disk cleanup tool to see if you can free up of any space there.

  ·         Click Start

  ·         Click on all programs

  ·         Click on Accessories

  ·         Click on System Tools

  ·         Check the boxes of files to remove

  Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.

  If I run THAT MSE value automatic update do I still need to install updates for windows 7 security?

  Yes. MSE and Windows update are two different things, although MSE uses the channel WU to update itself.

• After Windows 7 "Security Update" _ * WU client version 7.3.7600.16385

  OK, so not older Toshiba XP drivers are installed on this machine, strictly Microsoft except for one driver HP for a Toshiba SD drive and and a Cisco-Linksys driver for a USB WiFi key.

  Other software no MS: apache (apache.org), PHP (php.net), Java (Sun), Eclipse (Eclipse.org) and Postgres (EnterpriseDB.com).

  Anyway now to the problem:

  I automatically download an update of Windows 7 security and it breaks any network somehow. Local and remote. Something about a proxy is not not available although I never set up a.

  Another, funny, buggy behavior is also the IE 8 has gotten me through this intro screen where you choose the search engines and others several times (for example after a reboot when a new Windows Update patch).

  But anyway, back to the network / proxy bug. Cannot view the event log, or connect to any network. Of course Wi-Fi manages not to connect and everything you could imagine connected to networks (logical and dumb, as not having does not event viewer available unless the network software is running).

  So stuck here at the end of the WindowsUpdate.log file since the last update (after several reboots: I uninstalled I thought, it was the last update before one reboots)

  And after that the ntbtlog.txt

  And modified a file I don't have any idea what it is, but he has time stamps in there from July 13 (I guess that's the day of the last build of Windows 7 before the RTM version) and November 2.

  What makes this same lovier is I bet after finally getting this race I'll have to call Microsoft to get active this and explain to them that, Yes, it is true that I paid for this Windows 7 and it is a true copy. And yes I only have this installed on a computer.

  [Sorry for the AVG bit. Don't know where it came out.]

  Are you running Win7 RTM, have you upgraded to Win7 Final, or is - a new computer with Win7 preinstalled?

  Further examination of the WU log you posted we said you have Windows Update Agent v7.3.7600.16385 installed, not the most recent v7.4.7600.266. If you have not already done so, see if the manual installation of the last fixes the problem:

  1. Select the appropriate download (probably x 86 - Windows versions), save the download to your desktop: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946928

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. right click on the file that you saved in #1 above, and select run as administrator. Do not touch your keyboard until installation is complete.

  4. re-start, even if not invited to do so.

  5 test.
