Repeated updates of Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430)

I have been asked to update Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2
(KB954430) several times by auto-update feature. Each time I say yes. But
it keeps coming up again and again. How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
