WSUS- I need to exempt a computer from being updated through WSUS

I have a desktop computer which is running worldox  indexer . The indexer hangs with an (Application not responding ) when creating the index.  This seems to coincide with the update services reporting .
However this computer is on WSUS but unassigned .
I think I may need to shut down the update client on this desktop completely .How do i return control over updates to the client and away from the WSUS program ?

This is windows Server SBS 2008 R2

Desktop :Windows 7
WSUS version is

You could simply disable the Windows Update service on the Win 7 box.

I should be able to do this as administrator and this would overwrite the group policy ?
You should be able to do this as administrator, but I don't know if it would overwrite the group policy.
