Definitely turn that "feature" off.  There are many tales of woe 
floating around in the XP groups of people who automatically downloaded 
a security update from MS (Q 811493) that subsequently slowed down their 
system or caused it not to boot.  MS has acknowledged the problems and 
has issued a warning about it.

Automatic updating from the MS site is nice if everything MS did was 
correct and did not cause other problems...

Regards.
