On Vista, how to keep MS Office from trying to update?

External Since: Feb 2, 2009 Posts: 2

When I had first installed MS Office I was asked if I wanted to use
Microsoft Automatic Updates to find updates for the program and I chose
yes. Today I uninstalled MS Office 2007 in favor of a different program.
However, there are 11 updates that Auto Update keeps insisting I install
for MS Office even though MS Office is no longer on my system! How do I
tell the computer that it should stop trying to update MS Office??

service to update other programs
