Windows update notification 1

[DTSMAN]

I have turned off automatic updates, but I still get the pop up telling me that it is off. How can I do away with the pop up notification that has to be manually closed?

Do you mean a balloon tip?

save as .vbs [or add manually up to you]

Dim wshshell:Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'ENABLE =1/DISABLE =0 BALLOON TIPS
WshShell.Regwrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\EnableBalloonTips", 0, "REG_DWORD"

or use this REG file instead:
Copy and Paste into Notepad then save out as NoBalloon.REG
then import it into the registry by double clicking it, and followed by a reboot...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"FolderContentsInfoTip"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\tips]
"Show"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ShowInfoTip"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSMBalloonTip"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000

PS: the above should turn off ALL balloon tips...

Disabling all balloon tips seems like overkill. If you are running XP SP2, all you need to do is go to the Security Center Control Panel applet and disable the warning for Windows Updates.
