Autopatcher provided a safe and easy way to install windows updates on our systems for over four years. With Autopatcher, users could download the whole suite and selectively install Windows updates on multiple PCs and systems not connected to the internet.

However, the glory days of Autopatcher are over. Microsoft will only allow updates to be downloaded from its own servers. AutoPatcher started in 2003 and has been redistributed in some of the worlds best computer magazine CDs and DVDs. No one knows why MS allowed autopatcher to continue unchecked for 4 years before making this decision.
