No one can access you computer from or with the updater. You can move the shortcut any where you want. Here is what the updater is for, from the Victoria 4.1 - forum FAQ. "What exactly is the updater doing? The updater is going through the Runtimelibraries!DAZ folder, making a list of all the morphs for each body part and writing a pz2 file that will load them all. When you load the Victoria 4 CR2 file from the Figure library it is set to read each of those list files, causing it to load the morphs the updater saw. The updater changes nothing outside the Runtimelibraries!DAZ folder. Does this change the way I use the figure? No - the updater makes the list of morphs and morph channels and when you load the figure it reads them in, effectively building the full CR2 as it goes. You will end up with a figure with morphs already loaded, in the case of the base morphs or the Moprhs++ set if you have it, or ready to be injected in the usual way, in the case of add-ons like the Muscle Morphs. How often will I have to run the updater? Rarely - DAZ morph packs will run it for you, if needed, when you install them, so you'll need to run it by hand only if you get a set that uses the Exp system from another store or as a freebie that comes as a zip. When you do that, all you'll have to do is run the shortcut installed on your desktop or (if you've removed that) the batch file for your figure in Runtimelibraries!DAZ (the btach file just tells the updater which figure it's processing - it doesn't need to be rewritten or modified to work with different morph sets).
