You don't need to access Windows Update. Ther are plenty of other programs to fix your computer, it's all explained on www.freecomputerrepairguide.com - take it look, it links to all sorts of free tools.
You can download other SPYWARE programs, like spywareblaster or spybot s&d. These are generally better than anything you'll find at Microsoft.
Go to Microtrend on the internet. Very good tool.
Those first two are for grade school kids, use Webroots Spysweeper this one takes a while but found over 2800 malicious adware/spyware on my PC that spybot never even checked for... it costs but use the 30 day trial
The first time I ran Spybot S&D, I was surprised to see that a couple of Microsoft programs, or at least sponsored or partnered with Microsoft, were classified as spyware by this software. This led me to the admittedly paranoid conclusion that, in all probability, Microsoft wants to give us free adware removers to clear the field for their own spyware. I'll stick to Spybot, Adaware and Spyware Blaster, thanks very much. Good luck.

How can you remove C WINDOWS wuauclt exe?
Be very careful, why do you think you need to remove it? It is a component of Windows update. There are some bad or infected versions out there. Run a good anti-malware program such as SuperAntiSpyware or MalwareBytes. If it is a bad file, they will tell you. You can get SuperAntiSpyware by going to (See related Link), then go to the Anti-Spyware page. Another way to delete it is to use Command Prompt, and type in C:\WINDOWS then type the command del "wuauclt.exe" and you should be free from it upon restart of the computer - This is true, but it is a bad idea. Do not delete this file without running anti-malware check first! That file is used by Windows update.
