Automatic Updates

Description

Enables the download and installation of critical Windows updates. BlackViper.com adds this: After the installation of Service Pack 1, you may configure how often updates are checked. Using default values, Windows XP automatically downloads the updates and asks to install them. A few reasons why you may think this is unacceptable in your situation: 1) You could have a dial-up connection. 2) You may also: a) Wish to know what, when and how an update installs BEFORE using any bandwidth. b) Want to read about the update BEFORE downloading. c) Want to know WHY you need it and WHAT it fixes. It is very important that if you decide to disable this service, you check the Windows Update site often to ensure the latest patches install properly. Take note: Manual (and Automatic) updates via Windows Update web site requires Cryptographic Services to be running. Place both Automatic Updates and Cryptographic Services in to automatic if you do not wish to update manually.
