   Angelo Campanella to All   
   Pesy repetitive " Automatic Update Resta

   From: a.campanella@att.net   
      
   In the last week or two, my ThinkPad (built in 2005 with Windows XP) has all   
   of a sudden does this more than once a day. I changed the setting to stop   
   automatic restart (minutes countdown over several minutes to an unavoidable   
   restart). But now an enunciator pop-up still occurs, and I can't relegate it   
   to background. I eventually clear my many programs in use, and allow it. But   
   I CANNOT understand why it updates so very frequently. Any explanation and   
   how do I cut it back to once every few days?   
      
   I'm beginning to suspect that the NSA is watching me by hijacking the update   
   protocol to collect frequent data....
