Microsoft Update Automatic Updates

[Pegleg]

Anyone know why I keep getting the same update notifications? I d/l and
install the update for the automatic update to the Windows Malicious
Software removal Tool but as soon as it is finished I get another notice
that the update is ready to d/l and install.

Win XP Home SP2.

Pegleg - There are no "updates" to the tool. It is an utility that
downloads, runs and then "deletes" itself. - and pops up every month for
download.

The monthly "pop-up" you refer to is the update that shows up in
"Automatic Updates".! I keep getting the same message over and over
from "Automatic Updates" that "updates are ready for your computer".
When I open the Automatic Updates app it shows the Windows Malicious
Software Removal Tool and, in he current case , for August 2006 KB
890830. The installation runs and says successful but I keep getting the
message that the update is ready for installation. It never appears in
the registry as being installed.

From MS web site apparently this is an on-going problem where the update
shows that it has been installed but when you go to the registry the
installation is not there. The solutions offered there are obviously hit
and miss.
