Comments on: Apply most patches – but avoid two

As with the .NET Framework 3.5 patch, you did not originally warn not to install the AutoRuns Patch (KB 967715 for Windows XP). I have installed it and everything seems to be working OK, but you really should issue these warnings before recommending readers to apply all outstanding patches (except for the Active X Killbits Patch). This makes two patches you did not warn about in your original February MS DEFCON-3 original status update post.

Yes. Either that, or remove .NET Framework from your system (which ain’t a bad idea, unless you really need it for some application).

I hate to say it, but if you have .NET Framework installed, you really do need to get it updated.

Ref your latest post 5 Mar 2009

From Windows Update

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847)

Should the above be patched
