Question about 'Enabling or Disabling Automatic Windows Update' Saturday, November 26, 2005 at 3:00 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Stuart (1 messages posted) I have a question about Enabling or Disabling Automatic Windows Update: When I disabled Windows Update and got rid of the icon, Windows is still trying to access the windows update site. I blocked heaps of these addresses and it keeps trying different ones. Finally I went to the services page and disables the service which was still running. Guess I'll see how it goes now. My question is why doesn't my spyware software pick this up. surely if I have specifically disabled this what right has it got to continue attempting access, using my system resourses etc doesn't this qualify as spyware. Why does windows want it to continue accessing the net after I have disabled it? and why when I search google don't I find any references to this?
