Can someone enlighten me re “security intelligence update for microsoft security essentials” (Windows 7)
I can SEARCH for updates and almost always another one of these will pop up – usually saying they were created TODAY. I got 1 yesterday of 20mb then several more showed up later. I install all of them and don’t have a problem. I think most use recycled KB #s.
But do they really constantly add to these updates…like hourly?

 

 

Speaking of Turbotax, is this anything to worry about?
”  In addition, during the installation process TurboTax for Windows will check your computer to determine if you have Microsoft.net framework (version 4.0 or greater) and install these
program updates if they are not already present on your computer. Installation of these
programs is necessary for the installation and operation of TurboTax for Windows. If you
subsequently delete TurboTax or choose to not continue with the installation process,
these Microsoft programs will remain on your system.”

If they confine updates to .Net stuff, that’s not really an issue – right?

I’ve never seen the name of this update before:

Security Intelligence Update KB2310138 (Def 1.299.867.0)

sounds a tad ominous

I couldn’t find that Definition by searching this site so could someone chime in about it?

 

Off Topic: I tried donating to get the Plus membership through Paypal but it wouldn’t just take my Paypal money, it wants to take from my bank directly. I’d rather be in control from year to year.

I only installed the June updates but this KB4507456  is now installed and i don’t see an option to uninstall it. So what to do?

I’m tempted to join the Me-Telemetry’d Too movement

I only play Mahjong Titans. Nice mindless thing to do while watching videos.
Actually tried to delete it and couldn’t.

So what happens if they don’t fix them by the time May’s comes around?

Out of box mind tripping here but…Could a 3rd party keep Windows 7 alive with their own security updates? Seems like there’d be a huge market if it could be pulled off. I guess it’d depend on the source code being available – doubt it.

I installed all the recent W7 updates and am having a problem since involving something with my gpu. It won’t turn the monitors back on after sleep mode. Not sure if related. I only got a message saying the Display Port had an issue. So i’m having to reboot every morning.

So does the Defcon 1 apply to the Office, Outlook, Word, etc updates?
I haven’t found much mention of those…

KB3177467 has a dubious history itself from looking at the top mentions in a google search.

So i take it the risk of this exploited zero-day bug hasn’t reached critical mass to push the DefCon up?

I’m just using the ATT Uverse modem, no router at all. My wi-fi is just a card with an antenna plugged into the MB.

What about this?:

2018-08 Preview of Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB4346080)

Defender always got updates, twice a day I believe.

wow! I didn’t let Windows update for a few years and catching up on Defender updates is taking forever…over 100 so far, guess 1000’s to go?!!

 

Noob on Windows 7 here,

I’m guessing .NET isn’t just for programmers, correct?

So is all .NET stuff safe to download?
