I HAVE RECIEVED ABOUT 4-5 OF THESE UPDATES-TWO ALREADY ARE
INSTALLED-ONE BY MYSELF AND ONE BY MY WIFE-ARE THESE THE
SAME UPDATE?-IF NOT WHY AM I RECIEVING THE SAME UPDATE
OVER AND OVER?
 
The Windows Update history log file is called "iuhist.xml"
and it is located in C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate\V4.
This is a hidden directory so please change your view
options to show hidden files and folders.

(Control Panel > Folder Options > View)

Look in the "iuhist.xml" file.

You may also wish to download and run the following:

I hear you!! I have the same problem. I even deleted it
from Add/Remove programs and the registry. Then I
downloaded and re-installed the patch again!! It didn't
help. I still receive notifications from Microsoft every
day or two that 811493 is now available. GRRRRRR!!

I wish Microsoft themselves would "join" this dialogue!
