About Automatic Updates
The VAIO Support Agent is dormant as a background process. Every 24 hours,
the Agent self-activates to contact the Sony Support Server to check for new
updates or fixes needed for your system. This updating action only occurs while
you are connected to the Internet and when more than 24 hours has passed since
the last update.
