Bumping this one...
With all the 'troubles' with Windows Update (The 'Windows Genuine Advantage' thing...), AutoPatcher might be an interesting option for many...

Oh, and if you are in need for drastic measures, try
RemoveWGAQuote:
* Tell you if the WGA notification tool is active on your system
* Allows you to remove the WGA notification tool from your system
* Accept the "-silent" command line parameter to silently check if the WGA notification tool is active on your system, and popup only if it is found (usefull for checking automatically at startup for instance)
PS: I do not support pirating Windows, but the hideous measures Microsoft took with their WGA-thingy (phoning home, forced restarts) are way overdone...
