Although I have my computer set to notify me when there are updates before I install them, my computer automatically updated

Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320. Do I need this update and why did it load into my computer before I selected. I have searched for some explanation as to what this program is but am unable to find anything. WHAT IS IT?

    Have Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1. Have my update service set 'check for updates but let me choose wether to download and install them' not AUTOMATIC updates. This one loaded automatically and gave me no indication except it was on my updated  list

    There is no stand-alone Windows Update Agent available to download. If you have automatic updating turned on, the latest version of the Windows Update Agent is downloaded and installed automatically on your computer.

    Microsoft did post and gave information to the media.  Where would you want or expect communication?  In the meantime I'll ask why this WU engine update wanted a reboot as they are supposed to be silent and not kick one.

    So it's the program that retrieves updates from microsoft updates and windows updates.. I would imagine it's absolutely essential. It installs no matter what your windows update settings, so it seems
