Do what I do, Phawgg, and subscribe to security Emails from both Microsoft and from US-Cert. Both are free, and between the two, you will not miss anything critical; then you can simply go to the links provided and download/install the security patches.

I'll second John on that there, phawgg. It's not a good idea to rely on MS's Automatic Updates anyway. Except I don't Subscribe to CERT--ehm, no comment on US guvment in our lives.
 You can sign up for Microsoft Security Notification Service here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...tin/notify.mspx -------------------- You know everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.

Information on US-Cert's role and responsibilities in the area of cyber security:
http://www.us-cert.gov/aboutus.html I do not use the automatic update function, but prefer to download each update individually. That way I can save it to disk and have it handy in case I have to reload the OS, before I install it. I also make this disk of patches available to freinds who are still on dial-up.
