Removing the Automatic Update taskbar icon?

Anyway to remove that dumb Automatic Update taskbar icon that pops up on
occasion (when updates are available)?

If you disable Automatic Updates, it stays there permanently. If you
select just notify me when something is available, you have to go in each
time and decline it. I want it gone permanently.

Turning off the Automatic Updates "feature" leaves that taskbar icon in the
tray permanently - and it's taking up valuable space on my taskbar.
