Hi,
A legitimate program may be attempting to update, but there should be a
visible window. From Ctrl+Alt+Delete> Task manager is there evidence that a
legitimate program is causing this?

Or, very likely...
This may be a malware problem.
See these sites for help, including the posting of a HijackThis log to one
