I firmly agree with the response from Jim C. Here's a little more tidbit info about 
microshafts WUAUBOOT that referes to the AutoUpdate.
The autoUpdate slows system or causes mouse and keyboard to become unresponsive for 
brief periods.
When AutoUpdate is running you may notice that the mouse and keyboard freeze momentarily, 
then resume, then freeze again. The AutoUpdate icon may be visible in the system 
tray, or the WUAUBOOT process may be in memory when this occurs.

This issue has been "confirmed" only on systems with the "NDC 10/100 Fast Ethernet" 
adapter installed. 
Solution: To work around this issue, the card must be set to a specific speed. Follow 
these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Open Network properties. (Click view all Control Panel options if the Network 
icon is not present.)

3. Double click the listing for NDC 10/100 Fast Ethernet.

4. Click the Advanced tab.

5. Change the connection type to a specific speed required by your network. For example, 
if connected to a cable modem or DSL box, the setting should probably be 10 MB Full-Duplex.

Or disable autoupdate in Control panel but then you have to remember to do it.
