Is WGA now required even for critical updates? Went to Windows Update
to check for the critical updates released today, and it's offering me
only WGA.

Is it Black Tuesday again - how time flies.

update.
Cant have a BT without an update, surely????

Excerpts from http://windowssecrets.com/comp/060713

Because promptly patching Windows is vitally important to your
security, I recommended a trusted third-party replacement - Shavlik
Technologies' HFNetChkPro, which supports a much wider variety of
programs than does Windows Update.

NetChk Protect - which offers antispyware scanning in addition to
patch-management - is now completely free for 1 to 10 PCs for one
year. This removes the last obstacle some readers had to replacing
Windows Update with superior, independent, patch-management software.

NetChk Protect, when installed on a single PC, scans across a
peer-to-peer network or a server domain to determine which machines
need updates for Windows, Microsoft Office, Firefox, Adobe Reader,
WinZip, RealPlayer, Macromedia Flash, and other programs. The
application can then deploy (install) the updates you determine.
There's no need to preinstall an "agent" program to those other
machines or visit them one-by-one to run the installs.
