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.

As of 10 a.m pacific you shouldn't be getting these updates offered up anymore.

    I just  manually checked windows update and found  the indication that there are no updates available.  I also noticed that the yellow button requesting that I download (for the 20th time) Kkb2572073/kb22633880/kb2518864 disappeared.  Perhaps, Microsoft is working on the problem.  I still do not see the updates in add/remove (control panel).  Hope this also helps....

    ...I have dozens of computers at multiple different sites on which to apply these updates...It is unconscionable to expect companies to spend corrective time on all their units to correct an issue caused by Microsoft's poor due diligence in releasing these updates.  It is unrealistic to expect small, medium and large organizations to expend the time, effort and cost to remove and re-install .Net components to (possibly) solve a Microsoft-caused update issue...
