As Woody has sometimes advised, it may be better to leave Automatic Updates completely disabled (or disable its Service through the Administrator Control Panel) and go to MS Updates manually through IE when Woody gives his OK to selectively download and install MS Updates patches. There used to be a half-page posting on this site explaining that. @Burt Green –

Never did that before. Thank God I have Vista Ultimate System Restore, back to an earlier date. Tuesday patches downloaded and installed themselves despite my “notify but don’t download” instruction.

There haven't been any major infections that I know about, and the collateral damage has been substantial. Let's give it another week or so...

Just wondering, any word yet on all of those updates released last Black Tuesday? I'm looking to appease the little yellow update shield in my taskbar. Sounds good, Woody.
