Wow, this is about the most annoying thing that I have ever seen...

'Windows Updates are ready to install, would you like to install now?'

'No'

...10 minutes later...


'Windows Updates are ready to install, would you like to install now?'

'No'

...10 more minutes later...

'Windows Updates are ready to install, would you like to install now?'

'No'

...10 more minutes...

'Windows Updates are ready to install, would you like to install now?'

'Yes, just stop bugging me!!'

...5 minutes later...

'Windows need to restart for updates to take effect, would you like to restart now?'

'Restart later'

...5 minutes later...

'Windows need to restart for updates to take effect, would you like to restart now?'

'Restart later'

...5 more minutes later...

'Windows need to restart for updates to take effect, would you like to restart now?'

'Restart later'

...another 5 minutes later...

'Windows need to restart for updates to take effect, would you like to restart now? If no action is taken in the next 5 minutes, windows will automatically restart'

'Restart later'

...1 minutes later...

'Windows need to restart for updates to take effect, would you like to restart now? If no action is taken in the next 5 minutes, windows will automatically restart'

'Restart later'

...1 minutes later...

'Windows need to restart for updates to take effect, would you like to restart now? If no action is taken in the next 5 minutes, windows will automatically restart'

'Restart later'

...1 minutes later...

'Windows need to restart for updates to take effect, would you like to restart now? If no action is taken in the next 5 minutes, windows will automatically restart'

'Restart later'

...1 minutes later...

'Windows need to restart for updates to take effect, would you like to restart now? If no action is taken in the next 5 minutes, windows will automatically restart'

'Restart later'

That's why I don't use the automated updater for Win XP. Oh, and I don't use Windows updates anyways.

A wise man once said: "Never touch a running system."
And he's goddamn right.

Just right click my computer and click properties and turn MS updates off.

I've never had a problem with MS update and it never bothers me when i click do it later.

Personally, I like this feature, not for me cause I goto windows updates site all the time, but for all those computer noobs who complain about security problems and run windows xp SP0 or soemthing and then complain.
