How do I remove the critical update in task bar

Help!!! I did a system restore this afternoon back to Monday Jul 7, and my
computer 'fixed' the Microsoft critical update/zone alarm problem that
happened Tues/Wed..
Computer is running great. An hr. later in my task bar I see the icon
asking me to install the updates, so it looks like my computer again
downloaded the
critical updates from Microsoft.
I am assuming that the update they want me to do is the bad one and I
don't want to have the problem again so no way am I going to download it
again.
How do I get rid of the icon in my taskbar that wants me to do the
update? I am assuming that Microsoft has not yet solved their problem.
Thanks for any help,
Cindy in AR

Open the Windows Update site, and look at the option to disable that update

It is not a Microsoft Problem, it is a ZoneAlarm Problem.
Either remove ZoneAlarm or change it's setting to Medium.
Then get a better firewall than the free ZoneAlarm.
You should have the MS Patch if you want your computer protected.

Thank you, I removed Zone Alarm from the computer. I am thinking I can
always reinstall it at a later date when they fix their problem.
Also wondering if I really need it as I have the settings on in my
Security Center set to on for
Firewall - automatic updates - and Virus protection. I am using XP
