How can I find out if that has happened on my PC? I am running Windows XP SP2. I have automatic updates turned off and I don't want updates applied without my knowledge. Do I need to set my firewall to block these in the future? I don't mind applying needed security updates, I just want to know when they happen. Why give an option for automatic updates if they are going to happen anyway no matter what I select?
