We've reviewed your WindowsUpdate.log. It tells us:
1. Automatic Updates is configured to the "Download but notify" setting:
<QP>
2007-12-13 09:18:28:750 1104 c8c AU # Approval type: Pre-install notify
(User preference)
2007-12-13 09:18:28:750 1104 c8c AU # Auto-install minor updates: No (User
preference)
</QP>
2. No updates have been installed since 11 Dec-07.
3. Eight (8) updates have been downloaded and await approval to install,
hence Automatic Updates is honoring the "Download but notify" setting:

0 0 AutomaticUpdates Success Content Install Installation Ready: The
following
updates are downloaded and ready for installation. To install the updates,
an
administrator should log on to this computer and Windows will prompt with
further instructions: - Security Update for Windows XP (KB944653) -
Security
Update for Windows XP (KB941568) - Cumulative Security Update for Internet
Explorer 7 for Windows XP (KB942615) - Security Update for Windows XP

946058) - Security Update for Windows XP (KB937894)
</QP>
4. No updates for Windows Defender have been downloaded yet this week. A
Defender update may have downloaded and be ready to install now.
5. You have a third-party Windows theme installed
(
http://www.astonshell.com/aston/). Such themes can wreak havoc with
Windows and Automatic Updates. I'd recommend uninstalling it:

6. It would appear that you may have a beta version of Secunia Software
Inspector installed:
<QP>
> 2007-12-10 02:52:29:250 7452 1ad8 Misc = Process: E:\Program
> Files\Secunia\PSI (BETA)\PSI.exe
</QP>
I would strongly recommend uninstalling it and relying on Automatic Updates
to tell you what updates the machine needs.
Conclusion: Automatic Updates is working properly and no updates have
"installed themselves."
