If I do not install "Microsoft Genuine Advantage" am I missing security updates?

Asked by anartist (14808points) October 21st, 2010

Almost every day for months now the Microsoft security shield pops up off the taskbar and says “updates waiting to install.” Every time I check it is just that damn Genuine Advantage thing. My software is legit but the thing pisses me off so much I won’t install it. Am I depriving myself of useful software patches?
Does anyone else hate this thing too?
