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 had only three of these auto download and install on my netbook, and the same  three are awaiting the desktop, which I will let auto download tomorrow morning. But the netbook has this issue now, shows the three, KB2633880

    KB2572073

    KB2518864, successfully installed, but they keep wanting to install again. And I am not jumping through all those hoops to resolve it. MicroCrap needs to correct this with some PROPER updates. In the meantime, I went back into the Update page in my netbook, unchecked ALL three of these, and checked the, "DO NOT SHOW AGAIN," boxes. High priority or not, they no longer show, and I will wait on MicroCrap!!!

    How do you "hide" an update, and secondly, how do I delete and clean out my updates history log??  I need to free up some space, as a lot of these in my history log are old?  Please advise and thank you.

    Finally! A solution that actually worked. I guess I know which tech support forum should be in my favourites :-)

    Thanks Mark102511
