Totallythe wrong time windows!!!! I'm in lowsec flying through gate camps you you decide to install updates now!!! You're so fired automatic updaes!!!! I'm probably dead now. poded in lowsec because of you!!!


Learn from my mistake disable your automatic updates:

Control Panel --> System and Security ---> Turn automatic updating on and off.

For fucks sake if you're a windows developer, when that message pops up that my system is about to restart in 4 minutes, do us ALL a favor and program a button that says "Click here to cancel automatic update!!!"

Every day in every way I improve my skills and get better.

That is probably the least concern you should have with Spysoft.....

Rather than completely disable automatic updates why not select "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them". You get a notification in the system tray that new updates are available so you can download and install them at your leisure.

I usually wait a week before installing new updates in case any updates disrupt systems, that way it gives MS time to release updates of updates.

mine just did it to me too :(

at least I got a notification saying in 15mins blah blah, and then again in 5 mins blah blah. I was going to restart when I was done doing whatever it was I was doing, but welp then it auto did it when it felt like doing it. which is an hour I almost never am using this device, tbh I am almost never using it now as summer break and I can use my desktop for nearly everything. but hey then one time I was.... the not now button should really mean not NOW dammit!

If you are gonna do updates, run them in the morning when you are just grabbing coffee, or if you are a tree-hugging hippie, tea.

I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more.
