You don't need any manual updates because your system is good as it is unless you want to destabilize it by installing all the useless updates which that paedophilia is offering. You have been warned.

From: Andrew Weaver on 24 Mar 2010 13:58 Because you have to open Windows update and manually install the new version of the update agent and then have it scan the system for updates and then accept the updates that it wants to install? What do you mean?
