Windows XP Automatic Update Notices are Annoying

[Brushman]

I keep getting the same identical "Security Update for
Windows XP (KB828028)" Automatic Update Notice and have
dutifully gone through the download and installation
process four times, with my Update "Installation History"
Status indicating "Successful" for all four.
(The "Source for the first/earliest one is "Website" and
the Source for the last three is "Automatic Update". I
have also re-booted after each supposedly successful
installation.

Is this the same update, and if so, why does it keep
coming (i.e., at least once every other day)? What can I
do to stop this annoyance, but still keep the option to
be notified of NEW updates? Any help in enlightening me
would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at web page for details about the update:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-007.asp

the bulletin has the following information:
Technical support is available from Microsoft Product Support Services
at 1-866-PCSAFETY for customers in the U.S. and Canada. There is no
charge for support calls that are associated with security updates.

Good luck

what is your point, xyz? Brushman makes a good point. My laptop has reinstalled the same one patch 6 times now, and on boot up, the reminder still comes up saying I need to download the update. The interesting part is that my desktop PC download the patch in question, and is satisfied with 1 install.
