The Pros and Cons of Automatic Updates | |

Computer system security is a journey, not a destination. The moment you think you have a secure system, you don't. The process of securing a system includes constant monitoring for discovered security holes and vulnerabilities. The objective, of course, is to find out about the newly unearthed flaw, obtain a patch and implement it before any maliciously minded individual discovers your unpatched system. To do so would seem a daunting task requiring non-stop attention. In a sense, that's an accurate description. | ||

I don't like _automatic_ updates, but I will say that Windows Update does a pretty damned fine job of things.
As long as _I_ am in control of it I think it works just dandy. TL |

As long as I can easily turn it off in mass and has some options.. it's fine.
I dont trust Windows automatic update (from the internet that is) yet... maybe in a few years.. |
