Are you insane? Are you honestly claiming the procedure for auto-update is:

1) Disable auto update
2) Clean up
3) Defrag
4) Create system restore point
5) Disable antivirus
6) re-enable auto-update
7) let the updates complete
8) reboot (because yes it needs to do that too)
9) disable auto-update
10) re-enable antivirus

And the user is supposed to know to do all of the above how???? Vista ships
with auto-update enabled. I'm sorry but that's obviously how Microsoft
intended it to work. Anything more or less than that and it is BROKEN.

Which of course the braindead operating system simply reinstalls (and breaks
IE) next time you shut off the PC. Hopefully now that I've told windows
update to ASK me before touching my computer in any way, it should stop this
insane behavior.

Well it would be good advice were it not for the fact that the bloody update
renders IE unusable.

Microsoft has discovered the ultimate in computer security! If you cannot use
your computer, then it is, by default, secure! My IE is now every bit as
'secure' as a cinder block sitting in my back yard.

If you allow your AV to run while installing anything in Windows, you're
asking for a horked install.

It probably won't ask you in any explicit manner. When you shut down, the
default option will be "install updates and shut down" You still have to
change the shutdown option to avoid the reinstall of the update.

I'm not sure this makes sense to me. How does IE being unusable prevent you
from uninstalling the update?

case. it just went away from installed and available.
