Advanced Options
Run at Startup – This option creates a shortcut in your Startup folder. When Windows starts, the update client will launch automatically.
Run as Service – Windows 2000/NT/XP users can select this option to have the update client run as a service. This way the client will run without having to logon to Windows.
Override Automatic Settings – Use this option to override automatic IP detection settings. You can specify an IP address for any given interface. This option is mainly for users with multiple network connections.
