I have my main Wi-Fi network where I can run Software Update without having to worry at all.
When I'm away, however, I have to connect to the internet through another Wi-Fi network: this other network may have more users connected, and I'm not completely sure of what's going on through it...
How safe and recommendable is it if Software Update suddenly runs when I'm connected to this other network?, and if it starts downloading updates in the background...?
I've been told Software Update runs through an encrypted connection and that the system would never install anything that would damage it..., that it might just take a bit longer to download because of the additional users connected...
I was thinking of disabling Software Update and manually running it, say once a month.
Thoughts?
Thanks
