I'll definitely grab this once I clear space. I just wish I could've been a bit more involved, seeing how much I love the show.
Disabling Auto Updates is pretty simple. Assuming you're using SP2 (unlike me), you should be able to disable it from the Security Center under Control Panel.
Barring that, right click/properties on My Computer. There should be a tab for it there. If you do have SP2, be sure to disable Windows alert system for it under "change how indows alerts me" in the Security Center. Otherwise it will bug the bejeebus out of you.
