I followed all the above steps and still can not remove "Apple Update Software" program.Each time I try to remove the program I get a "fatal error" message and then it puts "Apple Update" back in my "Scheduled Tasks" list.I can not find any other Apple or Quicktime software when running "regedit".What else can I do?Thank you for your help.

I have also tried the above and it will not remove the program I do not understand why I can not do anything with my i-pod. When I tried to re-install i tunes it tells me that it can not delete the older version. Please help.
