This sounds like one of two things.

Either:-

Windows Genuine Advantage validation which is a scheme to prevent illegal copies of XP from being able to download anything from Microsoft other than critical updates except through the Automatic Updates feature.

Or:-

Windows Installer 3.1 which is basically the latest version of the Automatic Updates feature and (according to Microsoft) allows for smaller downloads and faster installs.
