"my win 7 update is set up like this.
do you know how my win 7 gets update notice?"
What the update program does is check for updates when you boot your computer. the check for
updaters is most likely in the startup options on your system.
That's why the shield shows on the right side of your status bar when there are updates available.

The screen you posted and RichnRockville described affects automatic updates. You can run Windows Update manually at any time to see if you're up-to-date.

Windows update script
Here is a useful script to download and install Windows updates just from the command line:
Searching, Downloading, and Installing Updates (Windows)
Copy script to notepad and save it to WUA_SearchDownloadInstall.vbs.
Open a command prompt and type CSCRIPT WUA_SearchDownloadInstall.vbs
(dont' forget the CSCript command).
