For the first time, since I've had Win XP Home, a window popped up saying it
was doing an 'automatic update', and it took a little while to run.  I'm a
little nervous about anything that my computer does on its own.  I looked in
"Help" to see exactly what was going on and it said it was doing updates in
the program relative to security.  I got the impression this would be a good
idea, because otherwise I could be sitting with a 'hole' in my system for a
long time before I thought to check for any needed updates.  I left it as
is, but now I'm wondering if there are drawbacks to letting my system do
automatic updates.  Any comments?
