A Windows Update and a Software Protection question
Which windows updates should I install? Is there a rule of thumb?
I know some updates can cause trouble instead of fixing it (and I just read anything about Windows Update is usually a bad idea) but is there a rule of thumb about which updates to instal and which to ignore?
Also, how does the Software Protection Service and the SSP Notifcation Service work?
I just noticed I had to start Software Protection to even activate my copy of windows and I read that if I don't have it running for a few hours, windows 7 will start telling me it's not genuine again.
I also heard conflicting things about whether or not it influences windows update.
Does Software Protection do anything else? Can I just keep it running or could it bother me with some random nonsense (like telling me not certified programs are priated or god knows what else)?
Thanks.
