I have Windows XP and went to the Baseline Security Analyzer site and downloaded it, it took a little while, but after it was all over listed the vulnerabilities. Then to cure the vulnerabilities it took me to "Microsoft Windows Update", and then I installed all the updates, including the new Windows XP service pack.
Question: if the solution is the same, wouldn't I have saved some time just going directly to the Microsoft Windows Update website and download the updates directly from there, rather than spending time with the Baseline Security Analyzer?
Just wondering if it's worth it to run the "Analyzer" when all I need to do is Update every once in a while.
Thanks!
