Ever since I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, I am having a very high memory and CPU usage (Sometime above 90%). This keeps slowing my PC. So I looked at the task manager and found that svchost (netsvcs) is the culprit. Then I went to see the services run by svchost (netsvcs), where I identified wuauserv to be the ultimate culprit. Once I disabled it, everything became normal. I have also disabled windows update.
The problem is that wuauserv comes back alive after sometime and even though it does not start eating memory right after, it does it after sometime. So I want to know how to remove this wuauserv service.
I don't want windows updated. It usually slows down the computer and eats the internet speed. It even breaks the OS sometimes.

Do not do this. It's a critical Microsoft service and you cannot remove it without breaking a lot of things. There's really no excuse to not having an up-to-date operating system.
