Vista Fix

[DragonNtec]

I bought my daughter a laptop. She does not have internet access. Is there a download i can copy to hers and install or run so she has all the fixes i have done anti-virus, antispyware.
Any help cheers!

Does the lappy have built in wireless? If you have a wireless router just connect it up to that and run windows update etc.

Other than that you can download most of the hotfixes from Microsoft and put them onto a disk. You will have to look at the website for your AV etc to see if you can get manual updates and do the same thing with them.

before i get flamed, is it really worth to have an anti-spyware and virus software installed? if she doesnt have loads of dodgy files already and has no internet theres not really much chance of a virus IMO

i would check with other members ifrst though, becuase most of the time i am an idiot!

Its always a pain to find the downloads on the Microsoft site but they are all there.

There is a new beta download app you can get when you go to the Microsoft site now that supposedly makes finding the files a lot easier, although its very new and I haven't used it yet, so YMMV.
