Haz Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 (edited) Thought you guys might appreciate this.here's how to do your windows updates using firefox, its really easy...open firefox at this address :http://windowsupdate.62nds.com/The first time you visit the site, you need to click Install to load the firefox plugin. Firefox will probably block the installation and give you a yellow warning bar on top of the window...click the Options button on the right side of this yellow bar, then click "ALLOW SITE"...Then you should be able to click "Scan for updates..." the interface look similar to the Windows Updates web site, without the extra Genuine sick!Basically it allows you to download all updates through Firefox, so you can choose what to install and what not to, but unlike the official Windows site, it won't force you to download certain programs (WGA, for example). I've been using it for a while, just do as it says and you'll be fine. Edited July 2, 2006 by Haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishwog Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 All these people who already have the Windows Genuine Advantage bollocks coming up, do you not ever look at what your downloading and installing onto your coputer? Always look at what Auto updates is installing, not only for things like this if your a pirate (yeargh), but people have been clever enough to put virus's and spyware into windows auto updates, but they are pretty obvious when you actually READ what its telling you what you want to install....

So these people are clever enough to hack windows update, but then they put a description as 'spyware'!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
