Try using tax_query instead :

    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 9,
    'paged' => get_query_var('paged'),
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => '',
            'field'    => 'term_id',
            'terms'    => array( 44 ),
            'operator' => 'NOT IN',
        ),
    ),

  );
  $query = new WP_Query( $args );

  query_posts($query);
