I don't know if this forum allows bad language or not so I will censor my words as a precaution.
I hate Windows Update I think it is one of the most pointless features of Windows, it runs taking up valuable memory, consumes my hard drive with unnecessary updates and just generally p***** me off.
I loved XP where you could switch it off and switch the Security centre off and never have to hear anything more about it. Vista on the other hand grr, you can do all that but you still get that annoying message that say oh no somethings wrong.
I mean just as a pure matter of interest I picked one of the updates at random and viewed its details and when the descripton is as follows I think you too will see why I hate this feature with a passion: [I am not making this up]
Sounds important right? Wrong, go visit the webpage on Microsoft's support site and the title of the update:
The words "Friendster," "Klum," "Nazr," "Obama," and "Racicot" are not recognized when you check the spelling in Windows Vista and in Windows Server 2008
Now I ask you do you or I really, really need this update? Does the title justify calling this an 'Important Update' ???? And I love Obama as much as the next guy but I don't love him with a 56.3mb download tag!!!
EDIT: Forgot to add the actual question I need an answer to;
Is there a way to disable the Security Centre in Vista and NOT have that annoying notification icon pop up every time my computer logs on?
