Default wuauclt.exe

The last few weeks my computer has been running painfully slow at times. It seems to be making lots of noise as if it's doing something but gets hung up on something and it may take 5 minutes before Firefox will open up or sometimes when I try to close it it'll take at least a minute as it slowly closes from the top of the screen down. Other times I'll double click on an icon and everything will come to a grinding halt all the while the computer is making lots of 'computing' noises.

When I do clt-alt-del and look at the processes (it usually takes at least a minute or two for it to open) it seems that wuauclt.exe is churning away. I've done a bit of googling on it and some people say it's a virus and should be removed but others say it's a Microsoft update thing.

Thoughts?
