Question Windows Installing Something??????

Last night I tried to shut down my computer but it wouldn't.
I got a message telling me that Windows was installing update 1 of 2 and that my computer would shut down when finished. This message was on a blue background and there was nothing to click on to do anything.

I left it running (after unplugging the modem) and when I got back to it some 12 hours later it was still telling me that it was installing update 1 of 2!!!!!!

I shut it down by switching it off. Even now, every time I try to shut down the computer it tries to install update 1 of 2!! Also it does not try to connect to the internet.

I have Win XP Home SP2 installed. Is this anything to do with having automatic updates enabled? Does anybody have any idea just what is going on and how best to deal with it.
