CPU usage. This is beyond ridiculous

^ Firefox has nothing to do with it. Nothing I am doing has anything to do with it. This happens at boot-up before I even touch the mouse or the keyboard.
 
Also, when shutting down at night, this thing downloads and installs 7 different items and I have no idea what it's installing. It sometimes takes 10 minutes to do this.
Windows Updates. You can adjust this in the system preferences (or whatever it's called on the english Windows, I'm using a german version).

I'm using XP and have it set to "notify me in the taskbar of updates and ask me if I want to install them".

I wouldn't touch MSConfig if you're a newbie. This is only for people who really know what they're doing. Often it's enough to go through the installed software list and delete unused programs which you know aren't used by the system (are you using any Yahoo messenger/toolbar? If not, deinstall).

It's not that. I changed it to update every Wednesday at 4 AM. I schedule all major updates for the same night.

As for the shut-down updates, there were a pile of them the first time I shut down after getting it. After that, there was one per night.

Then, about 2 weeks later, a huge update took place during the day and I wasn't told about it until after it happened. Since then, there have been 7 updates each night and it simply counts them down. It doesn't tell me what's being downloaded. Is there any way to find out what's being updated?
 
I'm on Win 7 too and I've disabled all unnecessary services. I have 38 running atm but at boot they are about 30 (some are delayed start) my PC ( 2GB, 2 GHz) loads entirely for about 30 seconds... check google for "unnecessary windows 7 services" for a guide of what you need and don't need...
 
^ Thanks. I've also been able to figure out another possibility on my own. The computer does a shit-load of updating each morning after boot-up. The only way to keep up with them would be to leave the laptop running 24/7 and I'm not keen on that idea.

I'm slowly going through the list to do a bit of rescheduling.
