Most updates to the .net files are for security reasons. I suggest updating them when ms update recommends it.

but isn't .NET only for ppl who make softwares?

 

[boyans]

.NET is needed by all installed programs (software products) which were created using the .NET environment.
There are 100's of programs using .NET (v2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0) environment.

And there are not less programs using the Visual C++ runtime.
