I have a comment about Remove 
the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant (ClickOnce) Firefox Extension:

In addition to the statements regarding this issue, one will need to consider two other steps: 1) When the extension is removed, windows Microsoft Update will download the NET Framework Assistant a second time and it will try and get you to re-install it. 2) Work Around Solution: When you receive the notice in the tray, open the download updater and choose the custom installation option. Un-check the extension down load box. A pop-message will appear reminding you about the download. Check, “Do not remind me”. Then you done. Consideration: Until we can get further clarification on the true extent of the vulnerability and its ramifications as well as if the extension is truly warranted, you can always go back and re-download the extension if needed. It will need to be determined if a patch is available for the issue. In the event you need to reinstall at a latter date, go back to the Microsoft update website and uncheck the hidden downloads that have not been installed.

You are better off turning off automatic updates altogether and downloading the installers 
individually. That way you know what you are installing and can back them up and 
burn them to disc. It's only a matter of weeks until there will be no further updates 
for Win 2000 anyway.
