I have no way of knowing whether any of those mysterious updates are safe.
I usually wait a few days and read some of these lists. If there's a problem, you'll usually hear about it on all the tech lists.
Perhaps even before that stage: How do I know the name of the download that they want to send me?
I can right-click on the bubble and have a screen appear, naming the updates. If you select an update, you should get a description of it. The download process is separate from the install process, so you get a last chance at not letting something install even after downloading.
Somewhere along the line I've been told that even though I don't use IE or OE, I should keep those things updated. At least IE is so integrated into Windows that if you don't keep it updated, other things may not function correctly.
