Microsoft The AutoPatcher project has been asked by Microsoft to stop operations. "Today we received an e-mail from Microsoft, requesting the immediate take-down of the download page, which of course means that AutoPatcher is probably history. As much as we disagree, we can do very little, and although the download page is merely a collection of mirrors, we took the download page down. We would like to thank you for your support. For the past 4 years, it has been a blast. Unfortunately, it seems like it's the end of AutoPatcher as we know it."

Windows update has a few quirks but its a well run service. They even turn it on for you when the operating system is installed, so its no hassle at all.

Any software that downloads files to my computer without my permission is SPYWARE, TROJAN, VIRUS.
And that's what Windows Update is, one gigant SPYWARE,TROJAN, and VIRUS, all-in-one.
