To eliminate this potential problem and still be notified, change the settings to notify only and when the update icon appears opt to look at the items list instead of just downloading them. Consult your IT if you have questions regarding a program and your business functionality. *If you are using IE 6 then Windows Update is going to stop working well for you before it begs you to add Microsoft Update to continue IF you are using XP (I think right at the point of SP2 is when it happens). IE 8 isn't going to be there at ALL if 2000 is installed as you can't install it so the update program will never show it. Oh crap...just run dual OS anyway.
