Could somebody help please..i keep getting the same microsoft update popping up every 2/3 mins even though i have done it and it tells me installation is complete..i have just installed again and within 2 mins i have another "update" the same one pop up again.I am currently running AVG check right now but that takes around 3 hours to complete.Any advice please in plain English would be most welcome.

I don't know yet, Steve but I'm getting the same problem.
I think MS Update is to blame.

Had the same here!
Stopped it by clicking on 'don't remind me of this update!
(Will try and put a screenshot later)

Updates were for .NET services (3)
Bring up the 3 updates and untick each of the downloads, then right click for tick for above don't remind me etc.

Add me to the list. I've installed the same three updates twice manually and twice on shut down today, but they still keep coming back up to haunt me.

I think we will just have to wait until Microsoft sort themselves out.

Have you got the shield on your taskbar? Down by the clock.
Right click onto shield and select custom, this brings up 3 updates for .NET.
Unclick the boxes, cancel then click on don't remind me.

n.b. so in theory as i've updated that update(too many updates there :))two or three times it should in/on computer now,so even though it shouldn't return i will be protected or whatever with those updates(more updates there) ;D

Be aware the problem is more widespread than you think?
I didn't think when this was posted that so many prople still used windows XP.
So like myself our usage of XP must soon come to an end.

I've just noticed that the Update icon has diappeared from my task bar some-when this evening, so presumably (I hope) Microsoft have sorted it.

Reported by others that Microsoft has sorted out the problem after admitting there had be problems with the .Net security updates for XP?
