Hi Tim.

I was wondering if you could please comment as to if there is a KB
article on the windows updates that were sent out around August 24th and
referred to as "Automatic Updates" in the event log for XP and Vista
machines? Also, it says in the EULA that users have the option of
turning off these features if they do not care to use them. How do we
users turn them off? Thanks.
