Question about 'Enabling or Disabling Automatic Windows Update'

I have a question about Enabling or Disabling Automatic Windows Update:

After following the previous instructions to disable Auto updates, I still think it is activating. I disabled it during an update but the update didn't stop, so I then disabled the service itself but it still didn't stop. I located the process (svchost.exe) and killed it. The download only then stopped. Now everytime I restart the computer, it starts again. I'm sure that this is the update process. Is there anything else I can do? e.g. change a registry setting? Thanks, Tony
