How to remove 1 update in auto Update list?

In my Vista laptop I keep getting an update for IE8 to be installed. I do
not have IE8 in it I have IE7. How can I remove this IE8 from the list of
updates? Been having it pop daily now and keeps itself in Taskbar for me to
install that update.
Thanks so much for your time.

Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)

2. Delete the contents of the Download folder:

3. Run Windows Update manually via the Start menu | Uncheck/deselect IE8 and
hide it ("Don't show me this update again").

4. Start the Automatic Updates service:
