Surely no patch can restore any system to security once it has been compromised?

wrote about 4 commentos & feedbacks about norton/7/creative sound blaster audiology se 24 bit being blowout when media center internet sample played & chunked. creative didn't have specific drivers. now after few weks went back & creative in forum, not download/support had driver for similar except se available in beta, 55 mb. installed alchemy with it & media 7. now audio is strong. so thought add good word about how in few weeks of hiccups & complaints, somehow sound card came back on board.Microsoft added 3 older updates as well in that timeframe.(fed M/S back,to) thanks.STeWie drashek Happy Camper.

So the Microsoft position is to help you only if you don't need it yet.

That's kind of like rescuing passengers from a sinking ship only if they haven't fallen in the water yet. Just the kind of policy I'd expect from MS.

But MS is like a snake. Half what it takes to stay alive is just knowing where the little bugger is. Works for me. I've never trusted MS and I still don't.
