About Automatic Updates

The VAIO Support Agent utility is dormant as a background process. Every 24
hours, the Agent self-activates to contact the Sony Support Server to check for
new updates or fixes needed for your system. This updating action only occurs
while you are connected to the Internet and when more than 24 hours has passed
since the last update.

Every time VAIO Support Agent prepares to update, the Agent Status Update
dialog box appears and asks you to respond.

You can choose from four response options:

Give the Agent your permission to contact the Sony Support Server for any
updates or fixes that are available specifically for your computer. The Agent
continues to prompt you for your permission to retrieve updates.

Give the Agent your permission to contact the Sony Support Server for any
updates or fixes that are available specifically for your computer. The Agent
automatically retrieves updates without further prompting.

Deny the Agent your permission to contact the Sony Support Server for any
updates or fixes. The Agent discontinues any update retrieval and does not
prompt again for your permission to update.
