I don't think you understand my question...whenever I start up my system, within 10 minutes the icon for windows update pops up in the tray. I don't want this happening because my copy of windows is less than legit. I'm assuming that doing the update would be really bad, so I'd rather not have it keep coming up.
run msconfig startup stop everything you don't recognize services anything you KNOW you don't use get rid of your computer will run faster and you won't have to worry about it......
