How can I stop Windows98SE from automatically checking for new
updates?

I delete Windows Critical Update Notification, WULOADER.EXE from the
scheduler but it comes back every startup.

Am I right in assuming that there are not going to be any more
updates?

It should be listed in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel
Applet. Uninstall it from there.

There need to be an update to 'Windows Critical Update
Notification' making it stop unneccesarily phoning home once a
system is updated to the end of the road, unless it detects that
one of the Windows Subsystems it [should] monitor has been
updated/changed.
