IE shows all updates when Windows Updates runs, and Automatic Updates can be configured to show or not show the specific updates. I prefer a browser that accurately reports updates when I click on the check for update button. Apparently, it is finally fixed in 1.50. -----Original Message----- From: pg_vlad () hotmail com [mailto:pg_vlad () hotmail com] Sent: Friday, December 30, 2005 5:27 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Why can't Firefox and Thunderbird find their own updates? An update, is a minor patch EX: v1.0.2 -> v1.0.3 you are talking wholey new version as opposed to minor build updates. I also prefer not having the browser take away my ability to see what is bieng installed. If you would rather not see the updates, then use IE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience.
