Even if I turn off AutoUpdates it keeps running and supposedly is supposed to run if I want to get any updates. Why has it just started running and really eating up CPU so as to actually stop my cursor from moving every 25 seconds? I have it suspended right now, but there has to be some way to prevent this problem.

Try sorting by CPU %age, setting it to a high update frequency and seeing what eats the CPU. If nothing is apparent try downloading the free 'Process Explorer' as it has a nice %CPU graph per process which is good for tracking down things like this.
