Repeatedly offered the same update

Windows Update keeps trying to install the same update (KB981852) again and again. Whenever update is a new update, downloads and installs it. He says that the update has been successfully installed. When the dialog box is closed, a new dialog box appears and wants to download the same update. This is repeated 10 times and I can't seem to stop trying to install this update.

First of all, it's a little strange that answer appears PA bear prior to a post submitted more than 12 hours. before him. Also, it is strange that I never was warned of his assignment until I was informed that it was marked as a response, so I never had the opportunity to react before it has been marked as an answer.

My bad for not specifying not what operating system it has produced, but a quick search on Google for the update number of, whowas in my post, would have revealed that this is a update of security for Windows XP (mine is 32-bit). The machine is the free version of Comcast of Norton Security Suite installed and is therefore always up to date. Norton manages spyware blocking (although the Defender is much less than it is in any case). And of course, Norton provides the firewall (although I had to manually turn off the Windows Firewall three times after installing Norton; it was before installing the update above). It was a totally clean, after being shaped and test of surface, installed Windows XP Home OEM from an installation disc (I am a member of the Microsoft Partner Network). There are three other machines Windows XP here (2 with Pro) and the other with the House, all the 32 bits that had recently reinstalled OS which has not experienced this problem when the same update has been installed on them and all had Comcast of Norton installed before the offered update version. It's news to me that there is a toll free number to get free assistance for the security updates, it seems to be a well-kept secret, that I can find no mention of this inyour research support, on or off the Microsoft Web site.

Yet, none of the foregoing is an answer to my question, as seems to be preferred on the Microsoft Forums, unless it is summarily assumed that the applicant is a fool, then all the possible solutionsobvious are specified, even when the applicant stated that he had tried these thingsbefore asking for help.

In all cases, the problem seems to have been resolved by simply saying to Windows Update to stop advising me of the update.

  • Updated continuously offers the same updates, which I've already refused

    I prefer to choose what updates I receive.  No, I never use "automatic updates".  I don't have Office 2007.  Whenever I turn on my computer updated tells my "new updates are available"... but it's the same update, I uncheck every time.  Is it possible to set this kind accepts updates updates thatI don't WANT OFFICE 2007 and managed to stop offering the same thing repeatedly.  It's a waste of time and if there is no way to do leave offer the same update I still refuse... SHOULD THERE BE!

    I need a frame that says: "if I rejected this particular update.  STOP ASKING ME!.

    If you do not want to install an update via windows update, right-click the update, and click Hide update

    The update you selected will be hidden, and windows appear yet again for this update notifications

    hope this helps

  • Windows Update, offering the same updates

    Hello

    I am running Windows Vista Home premium 64-bit
    I did a factory of my computer reset today and have been involved in the update of windows for some time now.

    1 - the first is that Windows update keeps giving me the same important updates 3 over and over

    -Update for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB971029)
    -Windows Search 4.0 for windows Vista x 64-based Systems (KB940157)
    It has been the installation of the updates successfully and I get the green icon in windows update, but after 'check updates', I always get the same updates.

    I tried to pass by the troubleshooting suggested to this page on renaming the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, but with no result... http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_other-windows_update/Windows-Vista-keeps-wanting-to-install-the-same/4ca85f08-73e3-4A4B-B1FF-f3747fcf945e
    2. via the properties of my computer, I see that I have Service Pack 1
    Given that windows update will not provide Service Pack 2, I downloaded manually via the Download Center and tried to install it. but I get a message saying that the Service Pack 1 is installed.
    Please help me and thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply,

    However, the computer has a hardware problem that required me to reformat the first time is when the issue of the update happened, I had to solve the problem and again the reformat...
