No, you're not.

It looks like I need to start linking to Daring Fireball more often. Please, read the first part to this article: Software Update Update.

Nullpunkt, I'm not sure what else could be wrong with your system. Have you installed fink, haxies, Norton software, or any other system-modifying tools or utilities?

You should perhaps try booting into safe mode (hold shift, explained in the FAQ) before the next time you run Software Update. If there is any funky third-party software interfering with the process, that should at least temporarily hold them at bay.

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.
