It's a plugin for lock Sony updaters from any umd. It also lock all eboots launcheds from UPDATE folder.
If you want do this, install it, but when you want launch any eboot from UPDATE folder you must disable the plugin.

2. More
It patch the nids of sceKernelLoadExecVSHMs1 and sceKernelLoadExecVSHDiscUpdater.
It should run fine on PSP Phat and Slim|Lite . It has been easy to do it, special thanks to Sony for do that the nids of the phat and slim of the
library sceLoadExec (LoadExecForKernel) be the same.

Only tested on PSP Phat.

3. What happen if I launch Eboot or UMD ?
Nothing. If you launch eboot from Update folder the PSP will go to XMB and will show the error (FFFFFF...).
And if you launch any umd update, the PSP will go to xmb.

It has tested on PSP Fat with 3.71 M33. It should work good on Slim too with 3.71 m33.

Also, it should work on 3.72-3.73 HX

Pretty useless?

does this allow you to play a game that would otherwise tell you you had to update to play it first?

Nope, it just renders the update icon useless, like it's main purpose..

Excellent! I was waiting for a fixed version for a while. The old plugin only worked with 3.52 M33.

Arn't M33 updates made in an UPDATE folder?

There were a few stories around here about people letting a friend or relative borrow a PSP (or the aforementioned friend or relative just borrowed it anyway), who was then "nice and updated the firmware" so the owner wouldn't have to.

Yup - lets hope the patching that M33 uses isn't interrupted with this.

... when you want launch any eboot from UPDATE folder you must disable the plugin.

This is just to prevent those "special" people we live / work with from forcing us to have OFW again! - If you know how to use plugins (which, if you are using these forums, you should do) then disabling this plugin prior to updating to the latest CFW is not an issue...
