Here, the AutoUpdate utility lists the sites from which it will download
new .DAT files. It also reports each site’s current status as Enabled or
Disabled. A site is enabled if you have selected the Enabled checkbox in
the Automatic Update Properties dialog box. A site is disabled if you
clear this checkbox. This designation does not change whether or not the
AutoUpdate utility can connect with the site.
