The updates are trying to be install over and over again. Every time I click "check for updates," there it appears again.

List of threads that have the same issue:
Media coverage:
Update 1: I have tried restarting the PC. Nothing. I have also tried FixIt when trying to troubleshoot Windows Update errors. Still nothing. The FixIt simply "runs" till the end and then says "finish." It did not offer to fix anything.
Windows 7 X64 SP1 with Norton Internet Security 2013 (version 20).
Update: I found other users having the same problem http://www.computerbase.de/forum/showthread.php?t=1252121 (in Dutch I presume). Translated page: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computerbase.de%2Fforum%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1252121&act=url
Update 2: Added media coverage of the issue.
Update 3: Add even more threads found via Google.
Update 4: Microsoft has now offered a statement regarding this bug:
“We’ve received reports of some customers experiencing issues when deploying some of September’s Office-related updates. We are investigating this issue and will act accordingly, to help ensure that our customers are protected." -- Dustin Childs, group manager, Microsoft Trustworthy Computing
Microsoft has acknowledge this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2760583/en-us
Known issues with this security update
Update 5: I did not have to do anything on my part (like re-install updates), so it's probably a detection issue on Microsoft's part.

I just fixed this problem for my PC that is NOT a workaround. I just posted a step by step instruction on how I got this endless update loop to stop for good. I hope this works for you as well.
Here is a link to my post: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_xp-windows\_update/fixed-no-more-updates-trying-to-install-over-and/1a7d813f-94d2-42e7-a2c8-ad44ab1630f1
Don't like to suggest you're wrong,but I doubt whether MS would even have a mailing list for all affected XP users and you absolutely can hide and restore updates at the Microsoft Update site when using XP.
Just put checkmarks in the "Don't show this update again" box. (Note: you must click on the + next to the update to expand the entry and display the Don't show this update again option.
To restore put a checkmark in the box next the the hidden update.
The Change settings option is the selection to switch from Microsoft Update to use Windows Update only.
Confrimed here on Win XP Pro, just reverted to Microsoft Update , scanned and no High Priority Updates available. Previously KB2810048 for Excel 2003 had been repeat installing. I didn't hide it, merely switched to using Windows Update only.
EDIT: Also confirmed on XP Home with KB2760411 and KB2760588.
Yes, I can confirm this too. I unhide the updates and when I checked for updates I get "Windows is up to Date" :D I don't think a hotfix was issued, so I guess the updates were not bugged maybe windows update servers had problems refreshing .
Microsoft has fixed the problem. Also see http://blogs.technet.com/b/office\_sustained\_engineering/archive/2013/09/12/september-2013-public-update-update-targeting-for-microsoft-update-wsus-and-sccm.aspx. When I checked for updates again the thee updates disappeared.
