- <hr>

- <p>All code except <a href="http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/">sed</a> and <a href="https://helgeklein.com/">setacl</a>
- is open source and has been thoroughly tested and to the best of our
- knowledge it does not contain any harmful or malicious elements. We make

- appreciate any constructive feedback and will try to give you credit if
- we use your ideas. </p>
- <hr>
- <p><strong>Windows Update:</strong></p>
- <p>Aegis will not block Windows Update. Instead it will change your
- Windows Update settings to 'check/notify but do not download/install'.
- We strongly advise users to continue installing new updates and to not
- completely disable them.</p>

- Aegis will not block Windows Update. Instead it will change your Windows
- Update settings to 'check/notify but do not download/install'. We
- strongly advise users to continue installing new updates and to not
