i want to uninstall Security Updates for Microsoft Windows because it has consumed the whole system drive(C:) of my desktop computer. My OS is Windows Vista Home Basic. I uninstalled Windows XP because it was then that I knew it was very much prone to viruses. Will there be a problem if I do so? And how do I know that uninstalling a certain installed Security Update will not cause my computer to malfunction? I mean what should I uninstall?

Here are my installed updates:
= 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1(SP1)
= Hotfix for Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 (KB953595)
= Hotfix for Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 (KB958484)
= Hotfix for Microsoft Windows (KB932471)

= Update for Microsoft Script Editor Help
= Update for Microsoft Office 2007
= Windows Search 4.0
and most of all the
= Security Update for Microsoft Windows
this update has the most on the list. It was installed daily last year. Then monthly later.

I want to uninstall updates to free space on my computer system drive.

I wouldn't advise you delete any Security updates. That's like throwing your spare tire out of the car before going on a long road trip because you need the space.



Hope that helps.

Start Menu>Computer>Uninstall or change a program>under tasks on the left of the window click "view installed updates". I'm not sure which ones you need to keep your computer safe, the ones for microsoft office are probably less important than the security updates for windows.
