Well, that really is the microsoft security updater. It
comes built into the windows operating system. If you
want to edit the settings go to start > settings > control
panel then from there in some versions of windows their is
an icon for windows updates and in others like XP you open
up the system icon and select the automatic updates tab
from the top of the window. From there you can change the
settings. Generally it is best to have them downloaded
and installed automatically so you are up to date as soon
as MS releases the patches.
