DO NOT DISABLE updates, but don't allow them to run automatically either.Of course it is important to use up to date software, but if there is some suspicion, like you are under surveillance, have hacked router, or whatever (and that case surely is dubious), disabling updates is very important, because the third party can inject their evil code into whatever coming from internet to his pc. Disabling updates was meant only for the purpose of the testing after clean install. The original windows media is clean, so he can clean install and obtain verarypt from other source (downloaded by third pardy onto a third party flash drive). But if there's hacked bios, clean install won't help.
