Click on start button and type 'msconfig' inside the blank box just above the start button (vista logo). Hit Enter afterwards
Click on startup tab and untick software that you doesn't need to run on startup (which possibly the reason it auto update) like Java, Adobe Reader etc. but don't untick program from system32.

Other option would be install a good firewall like ZoneAlarm and you'll be asked for confirmation when a program or software attempts to access internet.This way you can stop the programs trying to access internet.
