We have an HP running Vista for testing, the rest of our shop are Macs and we are all proficient on them but know very little about PC OS's.

My question is why is the Vista machine regularly downloading updates without asking my permission? I'll be sitting at my desk and notice that the PC has restarted itself and is installing something.

Can I turn off these updates? Would that be disastrous?

Should I just ignore them?
