I get a little shield next to the clock. I get this shield because
I have auto Updates turned off. When I click on this shield I am
taken to the Microsoft update web page. I then run a scan.
I already run a scan ± twice per week and install the required
updates. I do not need (or want) that shield. How would I get rid
of it?
Thank you,

Not enough information, Barry.
Also - contradictory information...
"I get this shield because I have auto Updates turned off..."
Hmmm... Then what application do you have installed that is giving you this
shield or are you talking about a little RED shield and not the little
Yellow shield? However - the rest of your post infers the Yellow one. What
is it you actually have? Automatic updates on, On and set to download but
notify or On and set to notify?
What updates do you keep finding?
Did you ask this in Windows Update newsgroups?
It's easy enough to search and discover this out on your own.
Google, Google Groups.
http://groups.google.com/
Most likely culprit:
http://groups.google.com/groups?as_...07&as_maxd=16&as_maxm=7&as_maxy=2007&safe=off
(.NET Framework)
Also - since it has to do with updates...

How to view the Update log in Windows:-
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type: %windir%\windowsupdate.log
and then click OK.
Scroll down towards the bottom for the latest entries to locate the error
code(s)
associated with the latest failed attempt to download/install. If
appropriate copy and
paste the error codes into this thread so someone may be able to assist you.
On the other
hand, you may be able to find the error code and other suggestions by
searching the
Newsgroup.
Also check Windows folder for file called KB******.log (****** = number of
update ie
KB896688) and post the contents of the failed update.
This may provide further clues as to why the update failed.

Good luck~!
