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.

    Hi Susan:

    To complicate the annoying loop:

    I do not have access to Windows Update.

    See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-cannot-access-ms-update-website/66efbdc1-e67f-4de2-946b-6361f01ada33

    Thanks very much.

    Can you do a manual scan for updates by going to Windows update and launching a manual scan.

    When you do that does the alert go away?
