That's because M$ keeps to their schedule of updates, even if it means waiting a month after an exploit is made public and script kiddies have their hands on a brand new utility. They've even been lax in their fixing of exploits that prolific worms use.

I use windows xp, and if I patch it my internet doesnt work. Same thing happens with my bro's computor. The computor people tried fixing it, and then just gave up and said dont patch it.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Also make sure that the bubble telling you to update is actually a part of the system and not itself malware.

At the risk of saying it's an ID-10-T User issue (sorry, I work in IT, that's what we call them), also make sure you're not regurlarly using an account that has administrator privileges (the windows 3.1/95/98/ME/XP [not NT/2000] default setup). Admin privileges are a great way for trojans to get complete control in your system.

Or run a RAM test (at start-up), or try other RAM, because strange hardware errors can come from a malfunctioning RAM or CPU, or even soundcard.
