Belarc Advisor

Running belarc advisor, I have some red x's on some items in the list. I have five disabled accounts which have nothing to do with my local user accounts. What are local system accounts and does it matter if I have five disabled local system accounts?

    It is just informing you of all the accounts on the system, hidden or not, and which ones are enabled/disabled.
     
    Nothing wrong with having accounts disabled if they are not being used, actually is a good thing.

    So the 14 updates have to do with the windows updates off of the microsoft update website? I have all the updates required.

    Do a windows update, if there are no recommended or critical updates, you can ignore that also.

    "So the 14 updates have to do with the windows updates off of the microsoft update website? I have all the updates required."
     
    Maybe yes maybe no, that is why I suggested to Do the Windows Update and see if there are any.
     
    I trust Windows update to tell me what I need more than Belarc.
     
    I ran Belarc on my system and it says I am missing one, I looked at what it said I need, but it does not apply to my System and what I use it for.
     
    Here is what Belarc says I need
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-053.mspx  I am never going to use this service for Unix, so why patch it, not necessary, Windows Updates says I don't need it either.

    I use MBSA which " missing security updates on your computer systems...."
     
    The version I use is 2.0.1
     
    This program shows me which updates I'm missing for my system.I also receive e-mail notifications that pertain to my system.
     
    And also what mombodog said  " there are no recommended or critical updates, you can ignore that also."

    According to the program, I have windows media player 10 and one of the player updates needs to be reinstalled. It's KB914440. I also have office xp professional and publisher 2002 that have security hotfix that fails verification.
