I've recently bought a brand new PC, fairly good specs with Vista, for my
University dorm. But because I can only use the University's internet
connection, something is blocking Windows Update from checking for updates.
The same happens with Windows Defender. So yes I know that the University's
connection is the problem, but I can't get a different provider & I can't
move the computer somewhere else to use another connection. I just can't
check for ANY Windows Updates at the moment.
Now there wouldn't be a problem if windowsupdate.com would allow me to
download from their site, but seeing as it's stupidly linear, I'm stuck. No
updates. No nothing.
So basically my question is, is there another way to obtain the updates
(other than ordering a CD), or can I turn off that bloody red shield with the
Windows Security Alert that makes it out as if I'll die unless I turn
Automatic Updates on.
