    What the Hell is up with all these Updates?


    everytime I get home from work there is always an update. I mean every day. What is up with that?

    They only come out once a week at most. I've not installed any in the last month and the 12 updates all have dates that are a week apart (1-3 per week). But if you don't install them it may nag at you about them daily.

    Are you using Microsoft Security Essentials? I believe it updates through Windows Updates.
