Thread Name: Tech: How do I get rid of.. (Microsoft updates)
Subject: RE: Tech: How do I get rid of..
Bits of information that may help people to assist you would include, but are not limited to, ...

Which MS operating system?

Which updates, service packs, etc. do you have already?

Which updates have aroused your ire, and why do you want to uninstall them?

How do you know you don't need them?

MS updates all have a number that begins with K or MS, so try Googling that number (with the K or MS on front, e.g. MS001-0001) and seeing what they do and whether you can safely get rid of them without breaking something else that you do want that relies on them.

And if you've downloaded an update from anywhere other than through the automatic updates or the official Microsoft website, you've probably installed a scamware version and are in deep do-do (which is your fault, not Microsoft's).
