Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Live OneCare and Vista SP1
Hi, I uninstalled Vista SP1 for several reasons. Live OneCare keeps telling me I need to "Install missing updates." Is there any way I can tell OneCare NOT to alert me about the SP1 update? Thanks, RickB Open Windows Update, 'Check for Updates", Rightclick the SP1 update to disable it.  SignatureWas this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.

It successfully hides the update on the "Windows Update" web page, but how do I get OneCare to turn from yellow to green? I want OneCare to ignore it so I won't have to boot OneCare everyday to see what the yellow warning says.

As long as OneCare sees a critical or important update on Windows Update that you have not installed successfully, it will alert you. Hiding the update wil not prevent OneCare's warning. -steve -- Stephen Boots MVP Windows Live Windows Live OneCare Forum Moderator sboots@mvps.org Okay, was worth a try, thank you! > >Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Windows Live OneCare Forum Moderator > sboots@mvps.org Without getting into any arguments as to the effectiveness of Windows Live One Care I decided against using it for one reason and one reason only. I choose to download Windows Updates but make the decision myself whether or not I wish to install any of the downloaded updates. Live One Care changes to the alert color due to this decision and I don't particularly like Microsoft telling me I am jeopardizing my security when in fact I am not. If Microsoft would let me have the option of overriding this security alert I would probably use Live One Care. I don't need a nanny. C.B. It is the responsibility and duty of everyone to help the underprivileged and unfortunate among us. > Okay, was worth a try, thank you! > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> Windows Live OneCare Forum Moderator >> sboots@mvps.org > Without getting into any arguments as to the effectiveness of Windows >Live One Care I decided against using it for one reason and one reason only. >I choose to download Windows Updates but make the decision myself whether or >not I wish to install any of the downloaded updates.

I decided against it because I don't like paying for something that I can easily replace with free items that work just as well. you might try the onecare newsgroups too. microsoft.public.windows.live.onecare.generaldiscussion > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks, RickB |
