Performing Windows Updates

As many of you already know, Microsoft Windows operating systems (Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Home, 2000, etc.) often contain flaws that are exposed as new software is developed, or as system engineers discover them.  These flaws need to be "patched" in order to maintain the operating systems integrity as well as provide you with heightened security and system performance. 

As a matter of good system maintenance, ALL users should perform a Windows Update check at least once a month, to make sure that your system is current.  Critical Updates, as the name implies, are critical to the proper operation of your operating system, while other Windows updates and driver updates are less important.  However, as a precaution, it can't hurt to take all the updates...  just to be safe...

Also, please turn Automatic Updates ON on all systems, so that you are alerted when new updates are available.
