FranceBB Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Everything installed fine, as always. Besides, this .NET 4 update is another good news, since I didn't actually thought it would have been released. Edited May 15, 2016 by FranceBB
glnz Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) All good here as well, and a word of thanks again to all the experts who have kept this thread going. Best one anywhere on this topic. In fact, I just made a modest donation to MSFN. Least I can do - keeping my XP machine running has been a real time and cost saver. Edited May 15, 2016 by glnz 1
Dave-H Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 I've been in an interesting conversation here with someone on the Opera browser forums. He says his AV software (Avast it appears) downloads and applies Windows Updates on XP systems along with its AV patterns etc. This is with no registry or otherwise modifications to the system. Has anyone else heard of this, I can find no reference to it on Avast's website?
dencorso Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 It'd be against both MS's EoL and non-redistribution in mangled form policies, and the AV would be facing a lawsuit already! It cannot be. So, the only permissible conclusion is that whatever that someone you were talking to got in the hookah, it's pretty strong, for sure!
Dave-H Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 That may be why Avast are keeping quite about it of course! The guy concerned is one of the very long-standing and respected contributors to the Opera forums, so I didn't immediately dismiss what he was saying. I did find it hard to believe though, as surely it would have been mentioned here and elsewhere by now if it were true.
heinoganda Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 This is really a bit too hard. Perhaps it is also because of the new information policy of MS, as well as apples are sold as pear! Note: Also has anyone to edit problems here in the forum no contributions retroactively? For me at the moment not possible.
Dave-H Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 You're not the only one! I tried to edit my previous post (to correct "quite" instead of "quiet"!) and I'm just getting a message that says "REQUIRED" in red capital letters. I guess there's a fault with the forum at the moment. 1
glnz Posted June 11, 2016 Author Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Hey, gang! At least three days early, but I have a yellow shield update prompt for Update for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2881030) 32-bit edition. But I have only MS Office 2003 with the 2007 Compatibility updates (I think). Or am I wrong and there are some 2010 pieces of Office on my XP system somehow? Hey - three days more and then we all go BONKERS !!!! Edited June 11, 2016 by glnz
Dave-H Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 I have Office XP (2002) installed, with the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack, and there's no update being offered here.
glnz Posted June 11, 2016 Author Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Dave-H - In add/remove programs, I see MS Office File Validation Add-In, which got an Update for MS Office 2010 (KB2825635) on 5/14/2014. In my MS Update history, I went back as far as Dec 2012 but did not see any references to Office 2010. (There are many references to Compatibility Pack and Office 2007, which I understand is normal for my Office 2003.) Hmmm. Anyone else? Edited June 11, 2016 by glnz
heinoganda Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Microsoft Office File Validation (OFV info) Add-in get updates from office 2010. Thanks for the info for new update (KB2881030). Edited June 11, 2016 by heinoganda
glnz Posted June 11, 2016 Author Posted June 11, 2016 Installed. So boooooring. Can't wait until Tuesday's excitement!
FranceBB Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Maybe I'm a bit late, but Avast does not install newer KB as it's a violation of the Microsoft policy. That said, they/"we" are almost ready to release a new stable version with a new "signature optimisation", removing several false-positive and pairing old viruses definitions in order to get a single signature able to detect several variants, with a total of 1.8 million definitions removed (false-positive) or paired. They also added a few improvements, but nothing important on the XP side. Edited June 13, 2016 by FranceBB
