I us XP Home Edition and made the mistake of putting the Windows
update tool in my tray. Now I can't stop the fricking thing. It
downloads updates instead of shutting off my computer sometimes,
and even when I shut it off, it has a red shield down there now and
pops up boxes when I start my computer.
This thing is a pain!
Is there a way to completely remove it from my computer and only
get updates when I want to go to their page?

The contents of your DataStore folder may be the problem.
1. Delete the contents of the DataStore folder.
2. Click Start.
3. Choose Run.
4. In the Run box, type: %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
5. Click OK.
6. Open the DataStore folder.
7. Delete all contents of the DataStore folder.
8. Close the window.
9. Reboot and revisit the Windows Update web site.

Go to Control Panel and double click on Security Center.
In the Resources box in the left hand column, click on "Change
the way Security Center alerts me".
Uncheck Automatic Updates.
Click OK.
Close the Security Center.
Good luck

This shows you to be a complete idiot. MVPs are not MS employees.
English is not your first language, is it?
How? By loading keylogger software?
You sound like a scammer to me. Hopefully the OP isn't foolish enough
to take you up on your offer.
That would be "Automatic Updates," not "Windows Update!"
Or the OP can shoose the third option, to TURN OFF Automatic Updates,
which is the closest option to what was aksed!
http://www.microscum.com/comsense/index/autoupdate.png
But that doesn't get rid of the Red Shield in the system tray. To do
that see:
How To Turn Off Automatic Update And The Windows Security Center
Automatic Update Notifications:
http://comsense.microscum.com/wscauoff.html
No, the answer is not 100% correct because you are an idiot with limited
English skills, and you didn't answer what the OP was asking.
And if anybody allows you remote access to their computer, they are
bigger idiots than you are!
That's right. The idiot that follows your idiocy is responsible for
their own actions.
They are "risk free" for you, and and the risk of anyone that follows an
idiot like you/
Your only responsibility is for your idiocy.
Actually under US Copyright Law, at the very least, it is copyrighted.
It should be "This information," not "These informations." Why don't
you go help idiots in your own language? Or have they already figured
out that you are nothing but a scammer?

I must admit, however, that if I ever need someone drawn and quartered,
I'll come straight to you because your technique is without peer

Do you by chance have Windows Live OneCare? and did you also turn off Automatic Updates? if true for both, OneCare icon will indeed turn red.
That's normal. And you will be nagged about having auto updates off. It will nevertheless update itself.
If not Live OneCare, I'm not sure what red shield you refer to.

I see you give some people a lot of shit. I also see you help others.
When I said you're a mensch, I meant it (and I know quite a bit of

SO needs to beat you regularly to keep you in line.
<laughing> Clever. Not nice, but clever.
I think he's a good boy, but I've been wrong before. And the general

hey for the person who just called me an idiot, that was my first time here
trying to help people and i dont think you should be here treating people of
idiot. this site is not a directory, go to myspace or somewhere else where
you will find you peers and treat them of idiot. Im here to help that is all.
I was not trying say anything when i said "i see you already got someone from
microsoft who replied to you", it was just an entry. Anyway, you dont know me
so treating me of complete idiot in a place where people should be nice is
not the maneer of someone smart neither. FEEL ME.

Hey man everyone got their own experiences with windows. I guess you are
right about some of the things you said because it sounded like i wanted to
invade the the person's computer. Yes, Im Haitian but no im not an idiot and
i think you should watch what you are saying. I'm not here to write the
perfect essay sorry, neither to please you or argue with you. I just dont
understand why would you come just like that and start calling me an idiot.
Everyone knows a little bit of the sea of knowledge so don't go and tell me
that I am a scammer because I am far from that.
I had experienced that issue with my computer and I repaired it on using
these informations. I am not trying to show up here but help. I was not
trying to help you, so i dont see why you have write under every single of my
comments. As far as I can remember, I did mention that my response might not
be a 100% the solution for her problem. That is when you come in the game.
It's simple, I put my solutions and if it does not work she can go ahead and
use yours. That is what happen around here, I guess, you request some
informations and other user will share their knowledge with you. Next you
dont have to answer a user question because this is really not the place,
just share your own knowledge without saying anything about someone else.
