Re: Windows XP Service Pack 3
Why anyone would even consider downloading Windows patches from anywhere other than Microsoft© or Windows Update is beyond me. But there are those gullible enough to do it. |

These are from microsoft, they are just mainly for companies that have specific bugs that microsoft tries to crunch out a quick patch. |

Specific bugs or not, I would NEVER download any Windows patch or Service Pack from a third party site. I've seen too many HJT logs posted in this very forum and I know full well what you download is not always what you install. JMO |

I aggreee with owlbet here. While the patches might be from ms you simply can not know what else is in there with them. Maybe this one is 100% legit with out any trojans keylogger cd key steelers etc. But i remember one for windows 98 way back when that was packed with a full blown trojan a keylogger, a pre configured proxy and a irc ddos bot.
When it comes to patches and driver related tyhings do not use 3rd party releases or apps. Driver removers totaly suck i mean realy if ati and nvidia cant get it right do you realy thing guru3d can?
