Originally Windows 7 Update Problem

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
If you click on Main Forum in the menu then scroll down you will see the Cat and Mum File section and opening it, you will see that Shane and then Julian used to upload the missing Cat and Mum files.

Manifest files posed a greater problem though.

Have you given any thought as to the repair install ?

ChuckR:
Thanks for the information and support.  I don't expect to do any more as most things are running.  It  just the Monthly Rollups.

Boggin:
The new monthly updates contain security updates which could be crucial to prevent your machine from being seriously infected such as the recent Wannacry Ransomware attack.

MS have released these patches to protect against such an attack.

ChuckR:
Are they for Windows 10?   The URL you listed references that.

Boggin:
If you look down the list, the first patch is for Win 8.1 followed by Win 10 then Win 7 and finally XP.

It's strange there isn't one for Vista but they had to issue one for XP because it is still widely used, even though they have ended support for XP.

A lot of organisations still use XP which probably helped Wannacry to hit so many world wide and it's reckoned a lot more than the hackers realized.

I read that the Bitcoins haven't been collected yet by those and it seems to be  bit of a toss up as to whether the hackers originated from China or N. Korea.
