If everything is working just fine, I don't try to fix it with updates. Nine times out of ten, you are just asking for trouble, I don't care WHO is updating what. They ALL use updates to sneak in and dump something Nasty.  Even if it LOOKS official I always say to myself "It's a LIE" and "X" it off. |
My update problems were with the Microsoft updates - they were conflicting with the version of Zone Alarm that I had.
The Microsoft updates - contain security & hot fixes - so i wanted them.
You should get the updates to your spyware & antivirus too - because they have the newest ways to find & catch the bad stuff.
the bad guys are always coming up with new ways to hack, infect and other wise mess up your computer- so these updates are a good thing.
I would not OK any update from a program that you don't trust though.
Or if it isn't from a program you installed.
