3. For the future, go into your Windows Update settings and turn off autoupdate.

5. Ahh, many thanks. Don't know why I thought Firefox and Windows did

8. Bad, bad advice
This weeks's updates were for critical security flaws. Those who follow your (bad) advice would not get those updates. And most people will NOT do them manually on a regular basis.

People should leave autoupdate on unless (maybe) they are stuck on dialup.
