   I just had to do a repair install for my brother as the machine was stuck in   
   an endless loop and wouldn't start even in safe mode.   
      
   I'm pleased that all went well and the machine is almost back to how it was.   
   However his AV (NOD) keeps telling him that Windows needs to be updated -   
   but of course the XP update servers can't be found now. I installed using an   
   sp2 disk then applied sp3 from disk I burnt from an MS ISO.   
      
   I've downloaded Windows-KB913086-201402.iso (3.3GB) and burned it to DVD.   
   Apparently it has all Windows updates as of February this year. However I   
   don't know how to make XP get its udates from there. :-(   
      
   So then I downloaded WSUS Offline, set it to get and verify XP 32bit updates   
   (it downloaded hundreds of MB of data), then ran that but, after a few   
   minutes (nowhere near long enough to install the 120+ updates since sp3) it   
   tells me to reboot. When I do nothing's changed. Repeating the process makes   
   no difference.   
      
   He needs to run XP as some software specific to his business won't run on   
   later OSes. (His machine came with a W7 Pro COA, downgraded to XP.) He also   
   needs to be on line and is aware of the risks. However I'd like to minimise   
   those risks bt updating XP to the last udates MS made available.   
      
   Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
