kb29777292 - eap implementation that enables use of tls (requires manually registry modyfing)

kb2862152 - vulnerability in IPsec

kb2862973 - depreciation of md5 hashing algorithm for ms root certificate

kb3097966 - disclosed digital certificates

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
Which category are they shown in if you use these update settings
Any Optional section updates can be ignored,

You need your settings just as Mike has shown, but I would also check the bottom one.

Remember to always read the description of an update 1st, if you don`t need it, just right click and hide it.

Remember, they may be considered by Microsoft as Important, but not to you or I

Thank you for the tips and all. I installed them and everything is ok for now.

Actually I always read the description but not always understand it right:)
