I see the paranoia involving Microsnot is still going strong in the house of Skybird.
When it comes down to the nitty gritty of update win7 or not to update you are actually advising people to never update win7, that will make their PC systems vulnerable to any Microsnot screw ups that have been discovered and patched by the said company.
If people go down that route of not patching their system, sooner or later its going to kick them hard in the butt, it would be far better to advise them to use the Security only updates which can be downloaded from this link.

I've posted this before somewhere on the site, you can completely re-install windows if you wish to and then apply this patch and add the Security only updates after it at your leisure. Aha I've found it.

Simplifying updates for Windows 7 and 8.1
I did a fresh install of Win7 SP1 when I heard about the file above and it went without too much bother. There were only about 40 files left to download (there might be more now though), the only thing to watch out for are the monthly rollup files, if you need to update Win7 further just download the security only updates ones from the link below.
Install the three KBs in the order I've listed them, they're a fix for Win7 taking forever to search for any updates.
KB3020369 first
KB3172605 second
KB3177467 third
You'll also need these three files as well before you install the security patches.

I hope that hasn't confused things too much, Now I'm going for a lay down in a darkened room after all that typing and research type whatnot.  |
If anybody has any problems with Win7 they should have a gander over to this sight
https://www.sevenforums.com/ and have a search around there, if they can't find what they're after you'll have to make yourself a member like I did in 2012 and ask the Win7 experts, they're a knowledgeable group who are far superior to me or Skybird in the inner workings of Win7.
