During the june 2011 update, i have already downloaded the KB 2538242 visual c++ redistributable update but after restart, I still keep on having the same update when I checked. I downloaded it the second time around then restarted then checked for updates again, it is still there. Is this necessary? Why do I keep on getting the update? Do I need to download a lot of KB2538242 update? or is there something wrong with my system? or is it a form of virus?

    if you are sure that windows has already installed the update, when it comes back asking you to install again, just right click and "hide" the update.  this should work.

    OK... But I would prefer to fix the problem rather than just hide it.
