I was offered two updates. The first being a worm removal tool for My Doom,
etc.. Since I am not a "gamer" I took the check mark away from the worm
removal tool update. I left SP2 selected for download. Now, I have that
little annoying ballon. SP2 update has now disappeared and it leaves the
worm removal tool for My Doom to be downloaded. I have tried everything to
remove this damn ballon but no results. I tried removing the check mark and
clicking on CLOSE, but that didn't work. I also had Windows Update search my
system again for the updates and it only finds the worm removal tool for My
Doom.I tried re-booting the machine and also didn't work. Anyone have any
idea on how to remove this litte balloon? Damned & Doomed.

You should take the tool.
It has nothing to do with gaming.
But it does indicate you may have a worm on your computer.

As far a SP-2, that is normal, #7 on this link:
