    If your useing older windows yes. Newer windows not as much needs to be fixed. Older windows had alot of security flaws.

    Most are security fixes. Windows fully updated has enough weaknesses as it is, do you want more?

    Yes. It is very important to download the updates so that our pc's are protected from security exploits that can be used against us.

    I'd also have it do security updates

    Well interesting idea but in order to get all security updates you'd require IE7.

    in my opinion its worthy and is recommended because it would keep your computer safe and updated.

    But if its a patch or service pack update then it is advisable to backup the registry
