    Hiya,
    I am not '.net' user.
    Window update ask me to install the upate "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) X86"
    Also it is saying 'Security' update!?!
    I am just wondering... how .net framework 3.5 is related to my desktop security!?!
    Is it something like... Marketing/ forcing the user to install .net framework and let their system die (make system slow)?
    Can anyone help on this?

    Thanks in advance.

    -Visamal.
