Windows XP Automatic Updates… Disabled

Today I disabled completely the Windows XP Automatic Updates from my home PC, since looks like it’s crap these days. Patch Tuesday happened several days ago and it keeps telling that it has updates to install. The System Tray icon disappears after accepting to install the updates and then you don’t see it again. When shutting it down it displays an option that says something like “Install updates and shutdown” (the other machine is in spanish so I’m not sure which is the actual sentence in english). That has happened like 4 times already. This just gives a bad impression, several hours and it cannot install 5 updates?!

I’m going to remove the red shield icon also.
