Answer 1

you always want to keep you windows automatic updates live , it keep you windows xp or vista updated with the most recent security updates on you windows and internet explorer , service pack 1 ,2,3 are just all of the updates a person needs all at once , if they did not have their windows updates live and automatic .

Can also be used to get all the update if your computer is new and has been sitting on the shelf , not conected to live updates .

Also if you hard drive fails , you computer will need to be on automatic updates , to being it back up to current windows updates , so that it can add sevice packs to it (being service pack 1 is just all the updates from the birth of window to a certain point , service pack 2 is just all the updates , from 1 to a certain point , and 3 from 2 on ward )

So basicly it is just all the updated microsoft has added to windows to upgrade it since windows was born .

Windows Live OneCare is a anti-virus application. It's used for scanning for malicious programs, like viruses, trojan horses and others. The producer is the Microsoft Corporation.

Automatic Updates:

Updates in general keep your computer and your windows up-to-date. This helps fixing vulnerabilities of Windows and other Microsoft applications. Automatic Updates help the computer to download and install the latest updates just when they are available.

Service Packs are big packages of updates. They often include bigger changes and also contain smaller updates release before the service pack. I would recommend everyone to install service packs, as they might also fix bigger compatibility issues with other devices and programs.

live care is windows attempt and anti-spyware/malware, automatic updates downloads security patches for windows and service packs are bundled patches
