I spotted that the other day but decided to put my sensible head on and didn't download it.
Personally I can do without 3rd party software that decides to download Windows updates. Could be downloading all sorts of crap.
I agree that caution is needed, but you can tell it to just look without installing, and then choose what you want.
That tool is a known trouble maker. The so called updates are usually not needed and you end up opening yourself to malware. Only use Windows update to handle the drivers, or check the manufacturer website.
Drivers should not update, unless there was some change done by the manufacturer. The only tool that is trustworthy is Secunia's PSI (Personal Software Inspector) downloaded from Secunia.com or majorgeeks.com. Free security software - Secunia Personal Software Inspector
If you are wanting a trustworthy software repository, Majorgeeks.com is the only place to know that you are not getting possible infected software.
The MDL thread seems mostly about it being a virus (it isn't), but I don't use that site so I can't see all the posts.
Windows Update MiniTool

My problem with the tool is that, every time I try to install it, I get the Russian version rather than the English version.
Any suggestions?
