Windows update won't run

This a.m. tried my usual Windows Update check. Will not load. All it does
is go to Microsoft update and ask if I want to install it. NO. It just
ignores my instructions and goes on trying to install Microsoft update thru'
IE. I do not use IE, I use MSN Explorer to connect. I do NOT want Microsoft
Update.
Anyone else with this problem ? Any ideas how I can get back Windows update ?
Thanks much.

Why?
It's the same thing but includes updates for more things.

Hi, Shenan,
Oh, there are a multitude of reasons... Chief being, I didn't ask for it, it
was "forced"; I pay for my msn.com dial-up and feel it's my perogative to
set things up as they work for me; Don't have Office so don't need the more
things. Feels as tho' one is being force-fed. Only a few days ago, Windows
Update worked fine, and there was no notification to me that it was being
phased out. Is it, or does it still work and if so, how do I access it ?
Please know that my anger is not directed at you personally, I do appreciate
the fact that you read and replied ! I'm just ticked ! It was not "broke".
Thanks, again.
