And as I said, this one doesn't prompt. I'm really kind of ticked off
about it actually, I'm with Antti, it's a security problem waiting to
happen.
This is all easy to recreate, install WinXP (anything apparently), make
sure auto update is turned off from the get-go (not just prompt) WU up all
the patches available -- no security dialog change, turn on autoupdate and
wait for it to cycle, new security dialog.
