control of Update interval

HI,

my name is Marko. I have a problem with a customer. he has a on demand
dial in modem. Now he got a very high bill from his isp.
Now i need to know how often microsoft windows updates control,
whether there are new updates for download available.

The clients:

win xp pro sp2
german

thank you for your help

Hi Marko, your customer may wish to set automatic updates to notify only. That way he can
determine when to download updates. In the alternative he may wish to manually check once
a month and download what he needs by visiting the Windows Update page then making a note
of what updates he requires and then downloading them at a convenient time/day.

Below are some urls for your assistance.

For security and other patches released for a given month :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms##-***.mspx
Replace ## with the two-digit year
Replace *** with the three character month abbreviation
Providing there are releases for that month, you will see the list of "critical"
"important" patches for that month
Check on the 2nd Tuesday (US) of each month - later in the day.

For just the current listing:
