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?

    Same problem here - not much help on M$ support website.  Anybody got a solution yet?  Sure would be nice if they would push out another Security update to resolve this nagging problem.

    lol Me too - no thanks to MS,

     Strange it worked as intended on my lappy with x64 - but repeated prompts on the x64 desktop.

    Time for a shxt sandwich MS.
