How do you stop Update from attempting to dial?

Every time I bring up my computer from a cold start, Update tries to launch
and dial into see if there are any updates. I have turned off autoupdates
using the Control Panel and in Microsoft Update, but it still attempts to
dial in every time the computer is started? Any suggestions?

every time I start my computer it does it too, not dialing (because I use a
cable modem) but then it tries to install an update which is already on my
computer, again and again and again. when I try to contact microsoft to get
help to stop this it asks for $35 because I use Windows 98 but on the site
the help says it is free. if I had a dime for every case of illogicality and
crash-prone software in windows I would be as rich as Bill Gates.
