Re: which security hotfixs to implemet ?

I have to agree with everyone else, if you do not need it then 
remove/uninstall it.  Same with services, if you do not use it disable it; 
not only will it increase hd space but memory as well.

Can you not remove the program by removing the services in the Add/Remove 
Windows Components?
