64 bit update stuck on my 32 bit version

I accidentely downloaded a 64 bit update (Windows6.0-KB943899-v2-x64) and I'm
on a 32 bit version. Now ever time i restart my computer or browser (I can't
figure out which one triggers it) I get a desktop icon that appears for this
update for a "Microsoft Update Standalone Package". And when i click it, it
of course says "this update isn't for this computer." But no matter how many
times I delete it, it still keeps coming back. I don't know what to do to get
rid of it. Help?

Exactly where on the HD did you save the file?

I believe I download everything to the desktop. Is that what you mean?

I was one of these updates that says you have to be running "genuine
Microsoft Windows" and you need to validate with a code.

After you delete it, create a new dummy version of the file (a text file
with the same name) and then get properties, go to the security tab and
explicitly deny access to all the users listed (make sure system is one of
them).
Then see if we get an error from a particular process that it can't write
the file.
If we need more detail we can try process Monitor from sysinternals.com (a
microsoft site)
