Hi CloverZJ
Do you have the patch already installed on the computer, or you do not want to install the update?
If you have no need of the offered update you can hide the update, then Windows Update will not it offer you again unless you choose to restore it. Here's how to hide an update:
a. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
b. do one of the following:
· Click the link that tells you important updates are available if you have some updates to hide.
· Click the link that tells you optional updates are available if you have optional updates to hide.
c. Select any update that you want to hide, right-click, and then click hide update. Do this for each update you want to hide.
d. click OK.
See below for the link-http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-problems-with-installing-updates
But if you have already installed the update and it is always offered the update several times then I suggest you refer to the Microsoft article provided below and follow the steps in resolution.

Repeatedly offered KB890830 Malicious Software Removal Tool
The installation of updates today all my Windows platforms (Win XP, Win 7, Server 2003, Server 2008), KB 890830 installs with the other updates as expected. After a reboot, I was invited by my machines they want that KB 890830 installed - again. So I install it again. After another reboot, I get the same behavior. Is there a problem with this month - October 2010 - malicious software update?
Everyone knows about this problem? No work around?
Thanks in advance.

I am repeatedly offered security for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 x 86 (KB2416473) even if I already installed it several times.
The icon "new updats are availble" made their appearance in my Systray every day since 10/06/2010. No matter how many times I run the Setup, I always get this icon again.
How can I tell windows update installation has completed successfully, at least according to my history of update.
Best regards
Ty
