IE 9 and autorun.inf

Hello:

Current environment is as follows:

O/S 64bit System 7 SP1

Endpoint 21.1

Getting the following message ... end point blocks explorer autorun.inf ... microsoft technical support advise that SEP should be disabled when installing windows updates because SEP is blocking for example IE 9 security updates.

Questions:

Why am I getting the autorun.inf message from SEP? 

How do I allow autorun to execute?

Not sure I want to disaqble SEP when installing windows updates ... Is there an alternative approach to installing windows updates without turning off SEP?

Any advice/guidance will be greatfully received

Thanks
