every time i switch off the computer now it says to turn off and it will install an update - it normally says 'installing update 1 of 1' but it just says 'installing update' now. it happens every time and i've started switching it off without installing the update.

is there a way of finding out if i should have it or not?

windows is windows XP and SP1/SP2/SP3 are installed too.

Processor is AMD Athlon 64 Dual core.
 
Have you actually let the update complete? If you've been switching it off while it is still installing you may have borked something and is now stuck in a loop.

The first thing I would try is to shut down your computer and then just leave it until it switches off. If that doesn't work, try a system restore to a point before the update problem occurred.
