Pesky Update Notice

External Since: Mar 30, 2006 Posts: 25

I keep getting the same notice of an update to install and download.

MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update (KB927978)
A vulnerability exists in the XMLHTTP ActiveX control within Microsoft XML
Core Services that could allow for remote code execution

I have installed it a few times, but shortly after it has completed, the
notice pops up again.

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing ?
The list shows it as successfully installed.

Thanks

You are welcome, it seems sometimes MS more generous to give you an extra
spoon in updates LOL.
