KB944533 Continual install - Win XP Pro - IE7 SP3

There are several critical updates that keep recurring on my works PC - the
most frequent is KB944533. The system is Win XP Pro with SP3 and I upgraded
to IE7 a long time back. I have Symantec Anti-Virus v 10.xxx, but update
History shows that it has successfully installed each time and yet it will
later show as a critical update again. I am not de-installing the update.
It has occassionally reappeared same day, but it is usually several days
later.
I have tried ignoring, but it still reappears occassionally.
Are these truly new updates being delivered against the same KB?
If not, how can I ensure that:
a) the patch is truly installed successfully.
b) avoid the message being repeated.
Many thanks,

I have checked the log and I find a few "errors" listed, but not clear how to
resolve. Precis of the messages:
0.968: Failed To Enable SE_SHUTDOWN_PRIVILEGE
0.968: FileVersion of C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe is
Less Than 7.0.0.0
0.968: Condition succeeded for section Test.IE7InstallBlock.Section in Line

22.984: RebootNecessary = 1,WizardInput = 1 , DontReboot = 1, ForceRestart = 0

All other messages seemed to indicate successful action. Hopefully someone
can point me in the right direction.
Cheers,

Huh? KB944533 is MS08-010 which has been released in February 2008(!) and
superseded by KB947864 (MS08-024), which has been superseded by ...
To make a long story short, KB944533 shouldn't be offered at all any longer.
The latest Cumulative Security Update for IE7 has been KB958215 (MS08-073)
accompanied by KB960714 (MS08-078).

Would you mind posting *the last* 30-40 lines of the "KB944533-ie7.log" file
which is residing in your Windows folder?
Start -> Run -> notepad %windir%\KB944533-ie7.log" [Enter]

> I have Symantec Anti-Virus v 10.xxx,

Hmpf,

What's the exact file version of the iexplore.exe in that specific
folder? Rightclick -> Properties -> Version

Do you have "moved" the Program Files folder onto another partition
by any chance?

Bye,
