You only need to select the updates for your OS and anything else you have. If you have office select the right office for you.
What you need to check is:

AutoPatcher Engine 5.6.0.100 (NEED)
AutoPatcher Common Modules (recommended)
AutoPatcher for Windows 7 SP1 (x64) (NEED)
NET Framework Addon Pack (recommended)
Microsoft Security ENU Addon Pack (recommended)

You may also select and Adobe update as well if you want to be able to read PDF files.

Now remember that what you are using is an update program... the program that installs the updates gets downloaded with the module( AutoPatcher Engine 5.6.0.100 ) that you selected. IT will install the updates that you download.

I just wanted to mention that all of the Office scripts are out of date, some by over a year. Office 2007 reached Service Pack 3 status a couple of weeks ago, as Cristiano mentioned on October 26 in the Office section of the forums - so Office 2007 would need to be updated to reflect that as well. There is also no Office 2010 script here as of yet.

So, since there have been so many office updates since those scripts were last updated, would I be correct it stating that the Office updates shouldn't probably be selected for download until they are? Just saying...

ya you are probably right about that. There just isn't anyone who is willing to update the scripts a few people offered and were pointed the way but, we have not heard from them since. Its not like its hard it just takes a little time and a little brain power.... im not under estimating the work here it really is simple. Just that no one wants to do the work.

I don't program but my daughter is in her second year Programming at Uni. Is the script updating something she could attempt at this stage of her "training"? I can motivate her to do this (she likes to have a free roof over her head ;-) ) so let me know if we can be of any help.

[ViroMan]

Script updating is something ANYONE can do if they have a little time, programming ability is not needed to do it. All it takes is a little detective work to watch Microsoft's sites for updates and after installing them see how to detect the installation.

If she wants to help that would be great. If she wants to help with the programming, even better. Even a first year programmer would be helpful this code isn't terribly difficult to understand, its fairly strait forward I won't claim to be the best programmer and frankly my codding is a bit rusty. Im sure she has new techniques I don't know.

AutoPatcher Engine 5.6.0.100 , What's this?

[ViroMan]

Its the program that applies the patches you downloaded with APUP(AutoPatcher Update Program).
