Yes, that's what should be done at the very *least*.  At least 
that way your PC isn't taken over and attacked by ALL of the 
updates.  Look at what happened to all those that had them set 
to automatically install and haven't been able to access their 
PC since SP3 was installed.

To minimize "critical update" annoyances, some users change the
default setting on the Automatic Updates menu to "Notify me but
don't automatically download or install them."
