Hello For some reason I keep being prompted to update a particular important security update (Security Update for Windows 7 KB2556532). When I checked the log this has been updating since 10th August and 5/6 times a day. Is there anything I can do to stop this and do you have any idea why this is doing this? Thank you very much

Use the followng Hotfix to reset Windows Update Components http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 3. As a test, temporarily disable all security softwares.
