KB979683 WU installs OK but keeps offering him yet again and again

This security update has just been published as well as several other right guard appearing as an update to treat even if it appears in the installed list. What is happening and how it stop?

Running XP Pro SP3 . In Add Remove panel only found an instance of KB9799683, which I deleted. When Windows update restarted the KB979683 arose and I allowed him to be installed. And now whenever I reboot the system, he tells me there are updates installed and of course, there are KB979683 there is only one.  When I check the list of installed patches that KB979683 is there and will be added on every time I run the update. I don't want to hide it for now until this problem is solved

I followed your steps after the posting of the updated and once it appears in the status bar (update available for treatment) I went through the process of importing certificate. It showed as having successfully completed. Then, I closed the open panels and restarted the computer. Still, the update appears in the lower right task bar and indicates that there are updates. I had a quick glance and it is always eager to update KB979683. I have bot 3 other PC with the same question. Humbug! It is not a question - simply boring.

One of these workarounds going to get KB979863 installed correctly:

Solution #1 - using Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory WINDOWS (C:\WINDOWS). Open the KB979863.log and see if there is a section that shows the following entries:

69.340: c:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is in the list of oem
drivers... jump copy!
80.656: c:\windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe is in the list of oem
drivers... jump copy!

IF the KB979863.log contains these entries that the solution #1

1) IF KB979863 is listed in Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel, and then uninstall it and reboot the system.
2) manually download the update from the Microsoft Download Center and Save it.
Recommend it saved directly on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed on, usually C:\):

Update for Windows XP (KB979683) 32-bit security

(3) once the download is complete close all open programs and browsers
(4) KB979863 install by clicking Start > run > Browse
Click on the my computer icon in the left frame
Click the drive root in the right frame (in this case it is C:\ ), click on the Open button

Click once on WindowsXP-KB979863- x 86 - ENU.exe to highlight, click Open
Add the /o switch to overwrite the OEM inf files

C:\WindowsXP-KB971486-x86-enu.exe/o/o

Note that there is a space between e and the /

Then click OK and the update will be installed.
When it has finished installing it takes a restart prompt.
Make and update will not be offered repeatedly.

Solution #2

The second workaround is not related to the question of OEM .inf file above. Concerning the number of unsigned system files . To find out if the question repeated installation undergoes a unsigned system files, follow these steps:

Click Start , click run , type sigverif.exe and then click OK .
Click on Advanced
Click on "Notify me if any system files are not signed"
Click the connection tab, check the box Save results file in a log file signature verification is enabled
Under options , the name of the log file should show as SIGVERIF. TXT . In this case, click OK
If this isn't the case, type SIGVERIF. TXT and make a mark next to add it to the log file existing
Click Start

Be patient as the tool will take some time to run.
When the tool has finished its operation click the button Advanced to again File Signature verification tool.
Click the recording tab.
Click the view log button. SIGVERIF. TXT is now open.

An XP system that is the problem of unsigned files will show an entry that looks like this to the top of a SigVerif.txt-

Operating system platform: Windows 2000 (x 86) Version: 5.1, Build: 2600, CSDVersion: Service Pack 3
Results of the analysis: Total of files: 3718, signed: 70, unsigned: 2573, not scanned: 1075

This is not affected by unsigned files will show a system - XP

Operating system platform: Windows 2000 (x 86) Version: 5.1, Build: 2600, CSDVersion: Service Pack 3
Results of the analysis: Total of files: 3578, signed: 2535, unsigned: 0, not analyses: 1043

If the problem is related to unsigned files, the solution is:

(1) connect you with an account with administrator privileges. If your user account has administrator privileges, log with this account.
NOTE: XP Home Edition has no administrator account showing on connect, unless the system is started in Mode safe.
If your user account has administrative privileges of it does not need to start safe mode and log in as Admin

(2) open an command prompt (click Start > run > type cmd and click OK )
(3) at the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing enter after each command
You can copy & paste the commands after the speedy right clicking after > and choose Paste

net stop cryptsvc
Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc
output

4) go to this subfolder - WINDOWS\System32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}
(5) remove all tmp*.cat files in the subfolder. If any of the files that start by tmp exist in this folder, do not remove any other files . The .cat files
This file is necessary for the installation of patches and service packs.

Do not rename the folder C:\windows\system32\catroot . The Catroot2 folder is automatically recreated by Windows, but the folder C:\windows\system32\catroot is not re-created if is renamed the folder C:\windows\system32\catroot .
