Windows Updates

Guys

I never have anything starting up when Windows (XP SP3) loads, if i want something other than core system files, utilities and services, I will run them! Can anyone explain to me why after ensuring auto updates were disabled (I check myself ASAP after 2nd tues of the month) why wuauclt.exe is running? This is the exe file/service for updates! It's doing my head in!

Cheers in advance.

because the service is running, doesn't mean it's fetching updates

you can disable it in services.msc, but i wouldn't advise it tbh, best left on
