Update settings keep changing to auto

I continue to change my auto update setings to notify me and I'll choose but
everytime an update is available, it updates my computer and I come back to
it being rebooted. I go into auto update settings and it's back on auto!!
This is more than frustrating as I like to choose what and when updates are
done. I am running a Dell desktop if that helps at all. I don't have this
problem on any of our other pc's, just that one. Any ideas!! Sure would be
appreciated.

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

Here's something else about NAV that you may not be aware of:
