    They're both security updates, listed as "important" (not "critical" though), so I'd get them.

    Thanks broni for your help. I will install now. ;)

    I am not installing the following:

    Framework KB951847, IE8, (I still use IE6) and KB967715 for disabling autorun.
    Are any of these must install items?

    Your help is appreciated. Once I finish with desktop I have to do it all over again for my hubby's laptop. :(

    I'd install this one as well. This is for your protection. Number of today infection spread because autorun is enabled.
    For instance, if you use infected USB stick, those malicious programs will use autorun function to get into your computer.

    Thanks again, broni.

    I've gotten everything ready to create an image. I'd better after all those Apr updates. Will install KB967715 first. :D
