Live OneCare installed updates that I don't want

I tried out OneCare. You'll notice that I used the past tense. I have
uninstalled it. Before I installed OneCare, I set Updates to download & then
notify me. OneCare changed Updates to Automatic. I don't like that. I want to
know what Updates is downloading & decide for myself what to download. It
installed Office 2007 updates. I don't like that. I don't use Office 2007.
OneCare installed Office 2007 updates & I see no way to uninstall them. Am I
stuck with the Office 2007 updates that I don't want? Is there any way to
uninstall them? I can't uninstall them from Programs & Features. Is there a
Registry entry or entries that I can delete?

Thank you.
David

That doesn't work. I've already tried that. The Office 2007 updates don't
show up. So, now what? Why don't the Office 2007 updates show up in Updates?
What other options do I have or am I stuck with updates that I don't want &
need? Is there a registry entry or entries that I can delete?

You said you don't use Office 2007... right? UNINSTALL IT.

That will take care of your problem quite nicely.

Do you have any of the newest free Office Viewers (like for Visio) installed
that are the 2007 versions, or the "Compatibility Pack for the Office 2007
System" that lets you open Office 2007 documents in Office XP and 2003?
There are updates for these that are listed as updates for Office 2007
because they are considered a part of Office 2007.

You have a point. I read "I don't use Office 2007" to mean "I don't have
Office 2007 installed".

If they are not listed in 'installed updates', what makes you think they are
actually installed?

Office 2007 is not installed on my laptop. For some weird reason OneCare
decided to install Office 2007 updates. This is exactly why I DO NOT like
Updates automatically downloading updates. It looks like I'm stuck with the
updates.

But do you have ANY version of Office installed and the "Compatibility Pack
for the Office 2007
System", or ANY Office VIEWER like the new Visio viewer installed?

How do you know the updates for Office 2007 are installed, what is telling
you they are? I have Live One Care as well, tell me where you are looking
in it.
