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?

    I think that's the cause for concern. According to our comments here, bourneyg, five cents and I all had windows update set to notify us first, yet windows update agent 7.6.7600.320 automatically downloaded and installed without any notification. It seems to be a legit update but I think we all want to know why it automatically downloaded and installed, despite our having windows update configured to notify us before doing so. Something like that is suspicious behavior.

    legit ? the meaning of that word should be highly questioned after the snowden's leaks

    another update to comply with a National Security letter? adding more backdoors for the NSA?

    I personally will not take any chance with this shady update, I have windows update permanently filtered in firewall

    The link I posted was to a thread of yours which you abandoned 4 months ago. Best to take care of your own housekeeping before attempting to help others with theirs, my friend.

    Please MYOB; e.g., http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/ce3802da-c43e-4edf-b65b-7fe6d81336eb

    Thank you.

    Stop posting links that have nothing to do with anything being discussed. 

    My reply was perfectly adequate and gave the poster a link to where he actually might find an answer to his concern.  I have as much right as anyone to respond.

    Very serious issue here. Microsoft Windows Update Agent frankly caused to blockage to regular updates.

    I have 3 computers with Win7 Ultimate 64bit with SP1 are infected.

    I need urgent solution

    The issue you are having isn't directly related to the Updater Agent.  Nonetheless there is an issue like you are describing.
