Just making sure. I haven't updated to SP2 yet but I did download some updates the other day and when I logged in today the updater was different.

You have the latest version of Windows Update, Version 5. You don't need SP2 to get it...simply go here: http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

And yes, it does seem to take a lot longer to search for updates. I'm still not sure why, yet.

your auto-updater is telling you to get a worm removal tool ? THat's not the best sign...

Which I think is a load of crap because I update all the time. I have a proxy computer running Zone Alarm and this computer has Norton AV installed with the latest virus definitions updated daily.
