Urlee...
If your Real Player is working fine, I would not download
anything.
Read each item...and decide if you actually want or need the item. The 'critical' update, I think, wants to install the latest version. No need if your's is working correctly.
The 'plug-ins' are just things you might want to have, although personally, I've never had any need for them.
In fact, I seldom use Real at all.
Real has way too much 'stuff' that uses resources.

Hope this helps...

If you look at Firefox Add-ons under Tools, it indicates that particular plug-in is not compatible with Firefox 3.5.2.

I ran Hijack This, but now what?

Why you should not be using MSconfig to control startups!! http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=149804 Many people frequently use MSconfig as a long term solution to control startup processes and services. You will also see many websites condoning use of MSconfig and teaching you how to use it for controlling startups. This is a very bad idea for many reasons. 1. MSconfig was designed to be used only as a temporary debugging/troubleshooting tool. It was not meant to be used for long term solutions. 2. MSconfig does not show all startups anyway. 3. If you uninstall programs while they are being disabled with MSconfig, they will not be uninstall properly and you will have to resort to manual registry editing to properly get everything removed. MSconfig will leave orphan entries if/when installed software is uninstalled while under the control of MSconfig . When/if MSconfig is turned back to normal startup, it will give errors on boot due to those orphan entries. 4. MSconfig and Services: o If you uninstall programs while you have some of the programs services being controlled with MSconfig, the programs will not be uninstall properly and you will have to resort to manual registry editing to get everything properly removed. o When you uncheck a service in msconfig, you completely disable it. If you uncheck the wrong one, you may not be able to restart your computer. o It is safer to control services by using Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services (this runs services.msc). 5. You can lock malware items into your registry that you may not see anymore until some point in time where you switch back to Normal Startup mode and now you can cause total reinfection of your PC with the malware. You need to remove the malware not mask it. If you still don't understand why not to use MSconfig, see what Microsoft writes here: The key point is stated as such: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310560

you should be able to open media player click on help> about and it should have the version number there. yes go ahead and get qt lite, since you have windows 7 I would bet you do have the latest media player. To determine the version of Windows Media Player, click About on the Help menu in Windows Media Player, and then note the version number below the Copyright notice. If the Help menu is not displayed, press ALT+H, and then click About.

While I'm thinking of it, as you go along and play
Real files from time to time, you will be asked
if you want to download an update or 'codec' etc.,
that you may need to play the file, if needed.
You can update the particular item at that time.

I would suggest that unless you use the features in real to buy music or shop, that you uninstall real player and go for real alternative. There is also a quicktime alternative. Together they will get rid of 2 poorly built programs with a history of security problems.

Here is a link that might be useful: Real alternative
