Turn off Automatic Updates.
As I have no idea what version of Windows you are running I'd suggest Google.

Yes, that is important.
You say you never turned them on. Don't they come turned on by default?
You've verified they are off still?

Found this:
Quote:
Microsoft updates Windows without users’ consent Posted on September 13, 2007 by Scott Dunn in Top Story
Microsoft has begun patching files on Windows XP and Vista without users’ knowledge, even when the users have turned off auto-updates.
Many companies require testing of patches before they are widely installed, and businesses in this situation are objecting to the stealth patching.

I added a second reply just above your response which may be applicable.

Peerblock can block Microsoft's addresses from reaching your computer, then just disable when you actually want to update.

Hope it works for you.
I believe you will have to add the Microsoft list after installed (link in other post), but maybe it comes default with Peerblock, can't remember.
Let me know if I can help

Yeah you can set it a few different ways, I have mine download them but not install them, and lets me choose.
