Great idea and thanks. Unfortunately, there appears to be a bug in it. (Go figure ...a bug from MS) It says that I do not have IE 5.01 or greater installed and will not install the MBSA V1.2.

I have IE 6.0. :shrug:

Don't feel alone there Dave.

It's telling me I don't have directx 9.0b and I do. In fact both Belarc Advisor and the MS Update page seem to thing I have it.

Then again my free MS Security Update CD I got the other day is telling ne I don't have W2k SP4 installed either. And as above, Belarc and MS Update say I do.

Ohhh, the insanity!

There's a link somewhere around here.

Cannot find it at the moment. It was for a free MS Security Update CD from MicroSoft. Took about 5-6 weeks to get mine, you had to sign up for it.

It was like HAPPY DAYS, MS sent you something for free.

About the only use I have found for it is when you do a clean install. You can use this disk to update to the latest patch's (Feb 2004) before you connect to the internet. Protects you from MSblaster and such.

MSblaster is a worm that only needs internet access to infect your comp. Some people have done a fresh install and picked this up before they could do the update's!
