Toolkit to Temporarily Block Delivery of
Windows XP SP2 to a PC Through Automatic
Updates and Windows 08/11/2004 01:18 AM
While recognizing the security benefits of Windows XP SP2, some organizations have requested the ability to temporarily disable delivery of this update via Automatic Updates (AU) and Windows Update (WU). These organizations have populations of PCs, upon which they have enabled AU. This is done to ensure that these PCs receive all critical security updates. Since SP2 will start to be delivered to PCs running Windows XP or Windows XP with SP1 via AU starting on August 16, these customers would like to temporarily block the delivery of SP2 in order to provide additional time for validation and testing of the update. In response to these requests, Microsoft is providing this set of tools. Please note that the mechanism to temporarily disable delivery of Windows XP SP2 will be available for a period of 120 days (4 months) from August 16. At the end of this period, Windows XP SP2 will be delivered to all Windows XP and Windows XP Service Pack 1 systems.

Apple Security Updates?

Apple Security Updates? 03/06/2004 01:59 AM

I'm always confused about whether or not to install Apple's Security Updates as soon as they're available. Today's latest release...

Security Update 2004-02-23 delivers a number of security enhancements and is recommended for all Macintosh users. This update includes the following components:

DiskArbitration
IPSec
Point-to-Point-Protocol
tcpdump

Ok, first, I don't know what any of those things are good for, and why I need them, or why I need them updated... and, on top of that, I haven't ever gotten a virus or had any security problems with my Macintosh.

Do I really need to install this update?

(If I were notified by Microsoft that there was a security update available through XP's Windows Update software, I'd install it before I did anything else on that computer, but on a Mac, I always wonder if I even really need to worry about it)

Hallelujah! If everything went as planned, Microsoft should this week be announcing a “security” CD for those folks without broadband access to the update Web site or simply for those who don’t trust any software download. Late last week as we went to press, the final release candidate was getting approved by the beta testers.
