AU Autoupdates Self?

As mentioned in a previous post I use the DUN icon in the system tray to
note the status of my modem connection.

Odd thing happened yesterday on my home machine.

About 7:00 pm I logged on to the internet.
I gave the connection it's usual moment to check for updates from MS before
doing anything.
I noticed that the connection was very busy.
Usually it takes about 20 sec to do it's thing and then stops.
Usually between 30 KB and 80 KB of data is downloaded during a check.
The whole process took about 3.5 minutes and about a Megabyte and a half was
transmitted.

During this I used the task manager to see if there were any suspicious
processes going on
(Yes, on my home machine I am qualified to identify suspicious processes :) ).
There were none.

Note none of my programs is set to autoupdate, especially if they are not
running.
This includes my AV, Java, Adobe, etc.
FireFox's AntiPhinsing DB will autoupdate but only if FF is running which it
was not.

This all made me a little nervous.
I checked the windowsupdate log and there was in fact Windows Update
activity going on at that time.

I am a work right now and cannot post that portion of the log but it seemed
to at the very least have updated:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SoftwareDistribution\Setup\ServiceStartup\wups.dll\7.0.6000.374\wups.dll
[note I am pasting the path from the work machine and cannot confirem the
"7.0.6000.374" part of the path, but you get the idea.]

The file wups.dll was "created" 8/20/2007 at about 7:0x PM, though it was
"modified",I think, in late July.
[for those of you who don't understand how Windows can consider a file to be
"modified" before it was "created" don't worry about it].

Now mind you wups.dll appears to be only 33 KB !!!
So what all that other data transmission was about I don't know.

My point is this:
It "seems" that Automatic Updates updated "itself" without my permission!
I double checked and it is set to "notify" of updates with out downloading.

The only thing I can think of that might justify an unauthorized update is
that since I update Windows Defender by downloading the file myself perhaps
AU could need to "sync" something between it self and the AU database. But
1, should that not have happened on Thurs or Friday (I was online both days)
and 2, a megabyte and a half is a lot of data for "syncing".

Very Strange

I'd be interested in seeing the tail of the log you mention. I'm not sure
what the right answer is here. I believe that if you blow away parts of AU
or MU, it is self-healing--i.e. it replaces those parts. I don't know
whether, if AU is set to ask before downloading, whether it does that for
such a download. For consistency, you would expect that, but maybe the part
that "knows" isn't working (in some hypothetical situation!)

At any rate--it'd be interesting to see what the update was, and see whether
I can spot it on other machines.

Sorry Engel, but if you check the date and time of my original post
" 8/21/2007 9:00 AM PST "
Which was referring to an event the night before,
I am the Founding Member [ergo President} of the Club ;)

I was very busy yesterday at work and could not chime in to the discussions
but I was wondering when someone would realize that you were all discussing
something I had already found :)

The question is still valid though, "Should Windows be updating without
permission when set to notify only".

This by the way, is the reason why I always go to WU and Office update the
day Before Patch Tuesday. I don't want to find out on Patch Tuesday itself
that WU needs to Update itself before it will give me the Critical updates.
I've seen it happen before and don't like it. MS should inform people when
the requirements of Au/WU/MU change so we can be prepared.

A question for U Tim;

From what I noticed yesterday, the updated DLL and EXE versions did not
change after I started a manual Ms Update, although it was obvious that
something was downloaded and I actually approved it, before the usual
Custom/Express choice window appeared . At that point I had to re-boot to
see the changed files, because (I think?) the old originals were either in
my memory, or more likely they didn't actually get installed until the
re-boot. So doesn't that mean that the new downloads would not have been
available if invoking the Update would have found a critical download that
might have required the new Update code files be there first? That must
have created the need for this forced update to the Update code itself,
figuring that a re-boot would naturally happen before our next Update
Tuesday. There was obviously no view refresh involved after the download.
Is that your concern here - a re-boot required in the middle of updates -
or am I reading you incorrectly?

Dave,

Not sure I understood the "givens' at beginning of the posts details so I
cut to the chase.

Not really. As I use a modem I want the amount of data transfered by WU on
Patch Tuesday to be as small and quick as possible.

In a 25MB upate scenario the updates would take an hour and 15 minutes
given a "good" connection speed of 48K.
A lot can happen during a 75 minute continuous download.
e.g.
1. The power could go out due excessive drain in summer months .
2. A thunderstorm could knock out the power.
3. A fuse could blow when the air conditioning kicks in.
4. The server could reset the connection.
5. My ISP could drop my connection.
6. The Gremlins could come into play, etc, etc, etc.

I try to get as much out of the way as possible before Patch Tuesday updates
at home and try to figure how much time it will take to finish the updates.
I download the MS Malicious Software Removal Tool (now at 7.57MB or a 23
minute download all by itself) at work and install it at home before I go
online, same with Defender updates if there are any ( A Full now clocks in at
4.22 MB or 13 minutes).

I do Windows updates on Patch Tueday and Office updates on Patch Wednesday.

By the way, a word about required reboots, my theory is this.
1. If it does not require a reboot, REBOOT ANYWAY.
2. If is does require a REBOOT, REBOOT TWICE.

There are important things that go on during a reboot.

MS "TRIES" to not require a reboot because of Corporate environments but my
feeling is that this just complicates things and that their updates would be
simpler if they were all followed by a reboot rather than have them
thinking, "Okay, this patch would be easier if if we reboot and this point,
but what can we do to avoid it."

The fact that the recent "unauthorized" update to AU did not require a
reboot does not mean the next one on Patch Tuesday wont, and I'd rather not
discover that at 7:39 PM.

By the way, have I mentioned that MS should be fined for every Patch Tuesday
that goes of 10 MBs.

Tim, OK, I really do understand about low bandwidth.

However, I also think this would have been a Big problem, or at least more
of a problem, if Ms had waited until patch Tuesday to force this sneaker
update along with any concurrent high priority updates. By that I mean
those updates that could only be located for potential install if your
system was using those newly downloaded Ms/Win/Au Update versions, and then
followed it with a system re-boot well in advance of the next patch
Tuesday. Looks like a case of damned if you do, and damed if you don't to
me.
