infrequent traveler question about biongo at airports

My first try at connecting to a wifi at the Minneapolis International
Airport found me looking at the Biongo home page. While I was reading
the information on the home page I was interrupted with a message
screen saying Windows (I am running Vista) was in the process of
updating and I needed to restart the computer or postpone. I chose
postpone and closed Biongo and put in a DVD to watch while waiting for
my departure time.

Question: Does Biongo start a Windows update process if you open a
browser to the Biongo home page to read the information contained on
it?

A few minutes later while watching the DVD another windows message
screen appeared saying Windows update had completed step 1 and was
entering step 2 and not to turn off the laptop. I tried to close/stop/
end the update process but nothing worked so I shut off the computer.

I have now arrived at my destintion and am wondering if I am in the
middle of an ordinary Windows update or if my Biongo visit is behind
the update and Biongo (or someone else) is trying to invade my
computer.

I have not started my laptop at this point and am wondering want is a
safe course of action to follow.

Any suggenstions or comments are welcome.

Sorry for the spelling error: Boingo instead of Biongo

I can't imagine how or why it would. Most likely is you have your
computer set to automatically receive critical updates (this is MS's
default mode) and your lappy was busy trying to install an update it had
downloaded earlier.

That would be my guess.

Boingo occasionally allows access tp soecific airline websites without having to
pay for a day pass. Maybe they also allow access to MS?
