Attention: Patients Update Required

Computers.

I have a definite love/hate relationship with them. They are just useful enough not to throw the frustrating things right out the window (is that a pun?). The case i have decided to pick on today are 'updates'. I hate updates. Just when you get used to your computer and all it's little foibles, along comes some update to make new ones. You know the ones: Internet browsers, active X controls, firewall protection, virus definitions, zip tools, audio codecs, spam filters, hardware drivers. Seems like half the time i want to do anything i can't because i don't have some kind of 'update'. Half of those times i just give up on what ever it is i wanted to do, because i know the process will take longer than i want to spend to do what ever it was i wanted to do in the first place, and thats if it goes smoothly.

Case in point, I decided to do a deep and thorough security scan of my computer today. The kind that takes a several hours of 'at the keyboard' work. In keeping with the spirit of the deep scan i wanted to update my virus definitions, which where out of date (see above reasoning) and sinse i was already committed to the time requirement...

I open my anti-virus software, and navigate to the update button, after clicking it, i get an error saying to reinstall the anti-virus software. What? They provide a link to a web site with more info, and apparently the updating portion of my security suite needed to be updated. ( oh, the irony!) Again, they provide a link to do just that, so i click it. The next screen, provided by the browser this time, tells me i can't view this page until i have updated my activeX controls, with, this must be my lucky day, another link to address this (that is a pun). No less than four activeX control updates later i am allowed to see the page to update my updater.

I update the updater, and it went smoothly and relitively quickly, can't remember if it required a restart or not though (i lost count -- read on). Then it was finally time to update the anti-virus software itself, this required a renewal fee, which i already knew and was prepared to pay, but did add to the whole 'chain of events' thing that i am going for here. Permission now payed for i update the anti-virus software, which half-way through informs me that i must re-run the updater when this one is finished. Which of course i did, after the required restart (man, i sure hope the 'restarter' doesn't need an update). I ran the updater two more times before it said all the updating was done, each needing it's own restart. Thankfully somewhere in the three updates the definitions where also updated. To recap, it took four updates to get to the update for the updater so that i could update my anti-virus software three times to update my virus difintions. Fuck me! I had better find Satan himself hiding out in my computer for all the trouble i'm going through.

But, it was finally done, and with no errors! But before you get to excited, i still have to update my anti-spyware , anti-spam, anti-adware, and last but not least, my firewall secruity. Then i can start the actual scanning. I'll let you know how it goes... next week... when i'm done. In a word, i'll give you an... update. :)
