Windows Update Consuming CPU

Several times a week the Windows Update service runs and drags my Windows XP virtual machine to a hault. Windows reports 100% CPU use, but the Mac OS reports low CPU use (around 20% for all processes). This leads me to believe that Windows is not really using that much CPU, but something is wrong in the virtualization process.

The specific process name is: wuauclt.exe.

My Windows XP virtual machine uses a Bootcamp partition. I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8 on a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 2 GB of Ram. I am running Parallels 4.0.3846.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris
 
No one else has this problem? It brings my machine to a hault for a couple of hours once a week. It is unbearable.
