I suspect you may have the same web police program that I once came across that blocked the translation facility for google on the grounds that it allowed searching for terrorist sites (how to make a bomb etc), but not google itself thus I can only read bomb-making instructions in english :(

As far as patches goes I'd request them on CD.
