When you install Windows and a service pack, you can't stop in the half of the service pack installation. freebsd-update make the same thing like windows update, it will install security updates. The different is, it will only upgrade to a newer release, when this option is specified. When you only will update ports and not base system, you should install portmaster. "freebsd-update fetch" will show you, what it will change. I hope, my english is good enough to understand, what i will say.
