Automatically Installing Windows Defender Updates

I would like to set Windows Update to automaticcly install Windows
Defender updates (KB915597) but not to install any other updates until
I select them.
I am running Windows Vista SP1

 

Automatic Updates cannot be configured to do that.

Well it looks like my latest attempt was successful.
If anyone's interested, this is what I did (I'm pretty sure it will
word on Windows XP/2000 as well)
1. I wrote a VBS script that downloads and installs a specific update.
(Edited an existing one actually).
2. I created a task in the task manager that runs whenever windows
update discovers a new update (Event ID 26 occurred in the event log
of windows update).
3. The task runs the script with an argument to install KB915597.

If anyone wants more information, I will be happy to supply it, as i
think this is very useful for everyone that doesn't like automated
updates, but doesn't want to manually install one every two days. (I
actually think this should be an option in windows defender or
something).

I am VERY interested in this VBS script that you have written to
accomplish this task. Can you please provide me with more information
on how to do this? Thanks!

Apparently there is interest in the subject so I uploaded the script,
the bat file that runs it, and the task exported from Task Manager.
Only problem I have with the script is that it runs too frequently.
If someone find a better way to do this, or modifies the script to
only run once a day I would love to be notified.
