RE: Net Framework 1.1 fix

I've been having the same problem with this Framework 1.1 update...Can
somebody in plain english please explain how I can solve this problem. I have
tried to fix it myself. Somewhere when I went looking it said that the
"Security Update for Microsoft.NET Framework, Version 1.1, blah,blah,blah was
not longer available. So why does the little update icon keep coming on my
desktop.
