- How do I stop ALL updates and other traffic?
- Posted by OM on September 28th, 2005
I want to be on the net with my mobile phone connecting my laptop.
BUT... what I don't want is the laptop trying to download the latest
update because downloads of that size will cost me £1 million.
All I want to do is JUST use MSN and Yahoo messengers
How can I turn EVERYTHING off?
Thanks.
OM

Bytes told you how to turm off XP atomatic updates....but you might also
need to turn off atomatic updates in
your anti virus program/anti spyware/etc.
these settings should be available in the program itself
