Stop the Windows Update service (WUAUSERV) and delete the contents of 
\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.

It might actually be preferrable to set the Windows Update service to
Disabled, and then only re-enable the service if and when you decide to 
install the updates.

Always do a full backup before installing ANY update.
