Junk Email Filter Office 2003 failed to install, but kept on tryin

Hi, over Easter the jung email filter did not install, but it kept on trying.
Everytime I looked I had the yellow icon again. I clicked, it failed to
install, etc. I do not use Outlook, but Outlook Express and I don't really
want Outlook updated. I finished up uninstalling Office and I reinstalled
Word, Excell and the Publisher (not Outlook). I had to update it all. In
the end the little yellow icon had another update for Outlook and it
installed successfully (although I don't really have Outlook installed).
There should be a facility where one can turn off such an update permanently.
The same happens with Windows Defender. It just installs successfully, but
nothing has been installed. There must be a problem with the Microsoft Update
somewhere. Helga

I had the same problem this week with the Junk Email filter update.

I also uninstalled and reinstalled Office, and this seemed to fix it.
