Caramelka, I am using version 1.0 beta build 283 and I don't see any auto update option. In the past few days, I have received a couple of notifications from SI that SI was out-of-date (from the pop-up notification in the system taskbar), but I am still left to do the update myself. The only thing I can think of that you might be referring to is the Help/About Software Informer, then clicking on the "click here to download the latest version" link. By having to go through these steps, I wouldn't consider it an "automatic update", which should happen without intervention by the user.
