HELP!!!
I have finally solved this original problem (see below) but NOW we keep
getting the same update over and over! (Security Update for Microsoft .NET
Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB928366)
My update history shows that it has installed like every day for over a
month now. I found a link from 12/24/08 "repeating update" that took me to,
"How to trouble shoot Windows Update when you are repeatedly offered an
update". I tried installing the Malicious Software Removal Tool, it seemed
to be successful but I still get the update... I have AVG anti-virus and
windows defender... The next step is to install the update in the safe mode.
THAT intimidates me some??? Is there any other solution to this problem?
Does it matter that I keep getting the same update over and over??? As for
"video card and version of the drivers/software that
you have installed, versions of the .NET Framework you have and lay out any
trouble-shooting method/fix you have attempted in the past"... I'm not sure
how to get that info.
Thank You
