"Windows is downloading updates"

I have been using Vista Ultimate for several months. Today I see a new
icon.

It is a small light blue parallelogram encircled by a yellow arrow
(swoosh?) down at the lower right (Taskbar?).

When I "mouse over" this icon the words "Windows is downloading
updates (17% complete)" appears in a pop-up box.

Left clicking or right clicking on this icon only turns off the pop-up
box (no options are offered and no other action occurs) and the icon
remains.

How do I determine what is being downloaded here? The % complete is
going up about 1% every 20 minutes or so (dialup). Must be something
big and important?

Just curious, thanks,

Robin
 
That sounds like the correct icon for Windows Update. If you want to control
updates manually, go to the Start orb and type "Windows Update" and press
Enter.
