Microsoft today ( 14 May 2019 )is taking the unusual step of releasing security updates for unsupported but still widely-used Windows operating systems like XP and Windows 2003, citing the discovery of a “wormable” flaw that the company says could be used to fuel a fast-moving malware threat like the WannaCry ransomware attacks of 2017. update CVE-2019-0708 does not affect Microsoft’s latest operating systems — Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, or Windows Server 2012. See krebsonsecurity.com/2019/05/microsoft-patches-wormable-flaw-in-windows-xp-7-and-windows-2003/where this update is available, and link is support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4500705/customer-guidance-for-cve-2019-0708My update was automatic ( via other software instigating the update ) and took appox 30 minutes Most of it was for .Net Framework. .Net Framework I don't like, and I will delete sometime. Why ?, because some normal sites use it, and you can't access their web site unless you have Framework installed, therefore I don't want to go to those sites if they cant build a P.C. compatable web page.

Fortunately Windows 7 is still supported as I HATE windows 10. I checked anyway, thanks.
