Original Title**: Automatic updates for Security Updates for...  ...KB2518864, KB2572073, KB2633880, KB2656352  ...KEEP REPEATING AFTER SUCCESSFUL INSTALL**

My system information:  Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3

I recently have had Automatic Updates appear for Security Updates for Microsoft .NET Framework...  ...KB2518864, KB2572073, KB2633880 and KB2656352.

I click install updates and I watch them install successfully.  And then they come right back wanting to install again and again and again.  UGH!!

I have read many forums and attempted many fixes, (even the Microsoft Mr. Fixit).  I am not too technical and refuse to attempt some of the fixes that had me going and making changes to the registry without knowing exactly what I am doing.  I know that making one small mistake in the registry can mess up my enitre system.

I need a simple solution to this annoying problem.  Please put the solution in laymen terms for the technically challenged.

Thank you in advance for any assistance with this.

    I can confirm that the following Automatic updates reappears.

    KB2518864

    KB2572073

    KB2633880

    After installation  > Update is finished

    Regardless if the computer is restarted, the updates shows up in the tray; click to get new updates, which is the exact same updates already installed

    Update history shows that these updates are installed Ok.

    So now it's just waiting for a fix , maybe?

    Best Regards

     The exact same problem: AskWoody.com  MS-DEFCON 1

    and google gives Many more people with the exact same problem.

     

    The above (3) KB # posted to my update list 3 times.then it said if you want to remove these to go to the Add or remove program so I did and when I looked they are not posted to the  installed programs and updates.I have IE8 windows xp.so these 3 updates are not on my computer.
