Hmm.. I have mine set to auto download but manual install only. I know I just got the malicious software thinger, and some security patch's for IE. Nothing too insidious that I could see.

I don't get what you are saying still. Is it installing another bad update that ism essing up computers? Or are you just saying that Auto Update is on by defualt in SP2 and we should turn it off?

A lot of members on here have the auto updating disabled, and miss newer updates. I'm simply telling them that they should manually install them now, in case they don't check manually often. That is all.

This post was slightly pointless. People who build computers, are usualy asked to sort out their friends malfunctioning pc - spyware etc. They know about patches, win update etc....

True, but people who overclock and tweak and kill services left and right may not manually check for updates often.
