Mine still try updating every day. But, it has become a little flaky as to whether it works or not. And, I think on Kathy's machine, it is failing more often than not with the auto update.
The protection is still good. But the updates have become unstable. Which is not a problem if you are good about keeping up with it. Which is not a problem, since it is happening in front of your eyes.
