KB955795

This update requires installation every time I run windows update, or even if
I leave automatic updates turned on. This is not an update that requires a
restart so it will start asking to be installed again right after I just
installed it, even though windows update says it was successful! I've cleared
the windows update cache and reset some of the DLLs using regsvr32. How do I
completely eradicate this update from my computer and fix anything associated
with this update so that it can install properly?!
