Windows xp (Home Edition) updates. Yes or no???

I have a P4 system with Win XP (home Ed). I use a 2 way satellite for
Internet access and I have his and her computers networked using
network cards and Wingate software. So far I have not chosen to click
on the little popup window that appears on my desktop and says updates
are available. I have had this system for about 14 months. I would
really appreciate some knowledgeable inputs on the pros and cons of
downloading rhese updates. I have pretty good firewall protection with
the Earthlink satellite system and I use Norton ( a new one)
regularlly. The satellit systems modems, (one transmit and one
receive) seem to be very sensitive to changes, Comments please??
