Configure automatic updates 

By default, SecurityCenter automatically checks for and installs 
updates every four hours when your computer is connected to 
the Internet. If you want to change this default behavior, you can 
configure SecurityCenter to automatically download updates and 
then notify you when the updates are ready to be installed or to 
notify you before downloading the updates.  

Note:

 SecurityCenter notifies you when updates are ready to be 

downloaded or installed using alerts. From the alerts, you can 
either download or install the updates, or postpone the updates. 
When you update your programs from an alert, you may be 
prompted to verify your subscription before downloading and 
installing. For more information, see
