I have been using Symantec for over five years and have never ever had a problem. On MS Updates, I have auto on but it does not do it automatically. It puts it into the little tray icons and says that updates are available. It is my choice to update it after I review what it is. I also never do driver updates until they become a problem. That is my 2 cents for what it's worth. Just had to comment..

I sure wish I could say that. Nearly every time I download
either a M$ or a Symantec update my mouse freezes up and I have
to do two or three reboots followed by resetting the mouse
to another setting and then back again to the original settings.
I get screen flicker on monitors running off notebooks. That
involves the same resetting of everything.
I dread software updates from either M$ or Symantec.
Symantec has suggested several registry edits to solve this
problems. What joy.
