Hello.

I am running Windows XP Prof with IE8.

Every morning, I manually check Windows Update for 'Express' and 'Custom' updates.

This morning (Mon Mat 17/14), when I checked 'Custom' updates, there was an ''Nov 2013 Update For Root Certificate for Windows XP ' KB 931125 update.

I downloaded and installed it but this seemed odd since this update was released 4 months ago.

Why was it offered again for the first time today? No other 'earlier' root certificate updates have been offered.

Thanks!

    I understand about clicking 'Shut Down!' What I am asking is, after XP support ends and to avoid system vulnerability do you 'recommend' leaving the computer on or turning it off? If turning it off is 'safer, 'should all 3 modem connections still be left plugged in and will the computer still be 'connected' to the Internet by leaving the connections plugged in?

    Does Firefox 28 have the orange, oblong button in the top left corner in order to toggle the text links on? When I press ALT, it just highlights the 'File' option.

    By unchecking clearing cookies on exit in the submenu, I assume you mean 'Privacy, History, Settings' and uncheck 'Cookies' under History-It is not worded as 'clearing Cookies on exit' but as 'When I quit Firefox it should automatically clear-Cookies.'

    Just shutdown the PC. Thst's all you need to do.

    To see the view with the oblong, orange button, right click a blank part of the Tab bar and click "Menu" bar. You'll see then that there aren't any text links. If you hit ALT with that view, the text links will appear. Click "Menu bar" again to go back to the view you have now.

    Click the "Help" button bottom right in each of the Options menus to see what the settings do. Much better that you get into the habit of helping yourself rather than relying on other people all the time.

    If something's not working, or your machine is infected with a virus or something, we can help out with that, but for the rest, I'm sure you're quite capable to using a search engine to find the answers to what happens to your computer when you unplug the power cable.

    Alright-Shut down the computer and turn it off but leave the modem on-Correct?

    Yes, the orange oblong orange button 'view' is the default- I clicked a blank part of the Tab bar and clicked 'Menu and 'File, Edit, View, History' text links disappeared-Is this what you meant by' text links?' I pressed ALT and the 'File, Edit, View, History, etc' 'text links' appeared but then disappeared when another key/mouse was pressed/clicked. Clicking 'Menu bar' again went back to the default setting.

    Is that what you were referring to? I had never played around with this option before so I had no idea what you were talking about. I also did not know what you meant by 'oblong'-Oblong is a rectangle and the Firefox icon is an orange and blue globe.

    Thanks very much-Did you have an enjoyable Saturday?..

    Xircal-Thanks again for all of your assistance.

    Did you have a weekend? I have three questions about shutting off computer, Firefox settings, and asking if you had a good weekend but you put 'yes to both' so I did not know what 'both' you were referring to.
