See this recent thread from Windows Update newsgroup:
http://snipurl.com/3ygd.

This update will not appear in Add/Remove Programs. Check your Windows
Update.log and iuhist.xml files for any errors or problems associated with
previous attempts to install. Compare the files you have installed to those
listed under Security Update Information/Microsoft Data Access Components
(all versions)/File Information at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-003.asp?frame=true.

If you /don't/ have the updated files, reboot the system, then go to
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-003.asp
to download a fresh copy, or do so via Windows Update Catalogue
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=323166).

You'll want to temporarily disable your antivirus program and any script
blocking component of it before downloading the file to disk (after enabling
the Windows Catalog). Close all running programs (e.g., IE), empty the Cache
(TIF). Install 832483. Reboot. Re-enable your antivirus program.

Hi

As the link Robear provided indicates, Microsoft is looking into this detection
issue for this update.

Note that when it is installed successfully, it will not be seen in
add/remove programs, because the update is not possible to uninstall
(unless you are running Windows XP and have a system restore point
created before the KB832483 install that you can go back to).


It also looks like updating MDAC to version 2.8 solves this reinstall "loop"
for many people. You can find the download link here:
