If it installed properly (probably), there are two choices.
1. Ignore the autoupdate notice and go to the update site.
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
Click Custom Install
Uncheck the box, Security "Update for Windows XP (KB890859)"
Check the box, "Hide this update"
Exit by clicking "Go to install updates "
2. See line 369 (right hand side) and download the reg fix "Prevent KB890859 from being
Reinstalled"
