Not using Internet Explorer makes surfing the web safer than most updates will.  :-)
I'm using Chrome... out of all the browsers I've tried, it seems to be the best.  I like Safari, but I think it updated itself to death.

Eh...I played around with Safari for a bit but dicarded it.

Chrome...It's fast, i like that but that's about it.

You have to admit the the internet is basically currently designed to support IE.

I'm using IE9, no problems so far.

This has been going on since the original compuserve board wars, for what it's worth I was active on the fish (how to keep them alive in an aquarium) forum.

Internet explorer is one big security hole.

OK I'm back, it took forever to clean out my Aunts old files and add all my favorites, so what's the consensus on letting windows do automatic updates? like Rich, our computer repair guy says no.

I would turn it off.  It can't hurt.  Those updates are more of a nuisance than they're worth.

I'm going to do that myself soon.

I have it set to notify me when there are updates.
