If you’re purchasing a new computer, you absolutely DO NOT want to put it onto the Net before pre-installing the Windows Critical Updates. Of course, you also want to pre-install an anti-virus programme, like Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan, or AVG Anti-Virus, and a good, workable and protective firewall, along the lines of ZoneAlarm or Sygate.
Still and all, pre-installing the Windows Updates from a CD is the way to go when setting up a new PC in your home, or office.
Microsoft has just announced a customer service programme where they’ll send you — at no charge to you, with no strings attached — a CD containing ALL of the Windows Critical Updates. All you have to do is click on this link, fill out the form, and – voilà – you’ll be off to the races.
