    Do the update. It will enable the Enhanced Virus Protection feature of your AMD CPU, plus seal up a whole slew of Windows security holes. Note that if your machine is already infected with worms/spyware/etc the upgrade might not go well, but that's all the more reason to do the upgrade sooner rather than giving more time for the bad guys to mess up your computer.
