Thank you, Sue. Does that mean that if I DON'T read about it on these list, then I SHOULD install it?
I'm not all that willing to install every "harmless" patch that Microsoft produces. PC Works can tell me if it's harmful. I want to go a step further. I want to know whether it's GOOD or NECESSARY for my system. How do I get that information?
