Updates are typically security fixes of some type or another. Some times they are "good" fixes and other times they are "bad" fixes. I prefer not to be bothered by the mess they can create and NEVER update my operating system. I use ZoneAlarm firewall and I pay attention to what it is telling me. (I don't let programs run that shouldn't be running, that I don't want to run, etc.) I have never gotten a virus or had any security issues. Some folks allow automatic updates and while some may never have a problem with it, most people I know end up with some sort of mess they can't fix and have to reload their operating system or take some other drastic measure to fix their computer.
