RE: windows updates on cd?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



The best way of getting the updates is have a friend who has the fast
connection to download and save them for you.

To find out if SP3 is available on CD for your area, contact MS directly.
For telephone details check:
https://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx

Security updates are available on ISO-9660 CD image files from the Microsoft
Download Center
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086

You can also download individual updates from the Catalog and save to be
installed later.
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx

Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what
you want, Click the “Go To Download Basket” link. Type in or browse to the
location where you want the updates saved to and then Click the “Download
Now” button.
Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.

As for your anti virus, I don't know about AVG.

Is it possible to buy a cd with the latest service pack and updates
on it? My friend cannot get high speed internet where she lives and
we are having a really hard time getting the updates on her really
slow dial-up connection. She has Windows XP Home sp2 and is having
some other problems also...I think she may have some kind of
malware. Her anti-virus (Norton) has expired and she can't seem to
download updates for AVG.
Thanks for any suggestions.
