Windows Update

I want to setup my system to detect when there is a Windows Update. I saw another thread that explained how. Right click Star Menu, click Properties, click Custom on Notification Area and then pick the Windows Update. Well, there is no Windows Update there. HELP

Also, I have tied to upload a print screen of HijackThis and MG tells me that the file is too big. Any idea as to why?

Yes, where is the windows update icon??

 

Hi guys,

I (belatedly) put the same suggestion in BeerMonkey's original post, so pardon the redundancy

Try this link. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306525
The Turn On and Use Automatic Updates section seems to imply that doing this will place the icon on your taskbar.

Again, perhaps someone more knowledgable than I can verify this?

Good luck,

Hi Dina,

You DO NOT want to do this. Before resorting to Hijack This, go to the Spyware Specific Forum and read the Pinned Posts at the top. Actually, I'll just link them for you. WAAAAAAAY too many people do not read them to find out the proper way to post for help in that forum. So do The Major, Chaslang, and the others proud and check these out:
