Windows Update Problem KB2862330

Last week my computer, running Windows 7, downloaded a large number of updates including the above. Since then the computer boots to W7 OK but then slows to crawl or a complete stop with HD at full throttle all of the time.

System restore, via safe mode, put it back to where it was operating ok but I have been unable to prevent the updates being installed again on closing down & opening up.

I have changed the windows update to manual and unchecked the individual updates boxes on the windows update list and selected ok. But if I re-open windows update I find it says manual update but all the download boxes are checked again. I'm in a vicious circle that I can't get out of.

KB2862330 is said to be the culprit. Lot of mentions on Microsoft Community with varying effects including the blue screen of death. Microsoft are said to have ackowledged the problem but no definite solutions yet.

Anyone else having this problem? Will I have to re-load Windows 7?
