    They haven't disabled the option - I just checked on an XP laptop I'm servicing at work.

    What are you seeing when you try to turn them off?

    Your disabled updates may be associated with a virus or piece of malware that is affecting the Windows updates.  If you have anti-malware and/or anti-virus software on your computer run them to see if you have a problem.  I also had this happen on my home computer and Microsoft technicians helped me get rid of the problem.

    It's not evil it's just wrong. 

    I understand they need to improve for a better profit for the company. Why would I care about the profit when people like me make the profit for them. With all the knowledge mircrosoft has why not make a software that i would gladly buy to keep XP.

    When buying a newer computer aren't you buying the software. That becomes a money thing.

    XP has been around this long because it's good edtion and user friendly. Just my thoughts!

    Thanks but, it's not a virus. It simply will not let me click on, turn off auto updates.
