The Automatic Updates of Windows Vista can enables you to install the latest drivers in your system. It is update software and security tools to improve your system performance. I suggest you to do not disable the icon because when you disable it, Windows Vista frequently displays notifications saying your computer maybe at risk because this feature is off and your system may be infected with malicious software and virus.

# Click on Automatic Updates link to launch the Automatic Updates dialog box.
# You need to select the Automatic radio button to turn on.
