So, this morning MSFT issued a new ActiveX control and installer for Windows Update.
For the first time, I am really hesitant about updating my systems (I do all updates manually to maintain control). Only weeks ago, there were reports of Flame Malware and an MSFT scramble to update a certificate, since the vector of this latest state sponsored malware is Windows Update itself.
Well, I get the update on the first system. There is a level of comfort as NIS 2012 reports that each file is deemed safe. But after a while dismissing all these pop-ups becomes a nuissance. I couldn't figure out a way to dismiss all. So, I ended up rebooting (also needed to terminate CC Service Host on the reboot).
Does anyone have a better way to get NIS 2012 to chill? Thanks.
