Gordon,

Microsoft only released 4 security releases for Windows this month.

Only one of those was for Windows 2000.

The patch for Windows 2000 Professional is KB951748.
(A separate patch was released for Windows 2000 Server.)

Google KB951748 and you will find lots of complaints about it.

Look for "Windows 2000 Hotfix - KB951748" in the Add/Remove programs list.


I don't like Automatic Updates so I have it switched off. 
I prefer to download updates individually and read the security 
bulletins so I know what they are for. I also save the patches so 
in case I need to do a reinstall I don't have to download them AGAIN.
