No it doesn't, and it never has done. The auto-update feature merely downloads the same installer from the website and executes it.
The main issue seems to be that when people then run the auto-update they're too busy blindly clicking through the installer to remember not to click accept. People blaming others for their mistakes.. Now where have I seen that before?
Maxtor One-Touch drives you say? I have one over there in the corner of the room. It died last week. Lovely "click. click. click." thing. Only a year old, too.
And no, freezing it didn't work, although it did lead to some nice scratches from my craft knife in the back. It just stopped it even *trying* to spin up for a couple of hours, before it start clicking again. So much for THOSE backups (... and things.. *cough*).
