Start/Control Panel/Uninstall Programs
On the left side of the screen choose View Installed Updates. Select update
you want to remove and click Uninstall.

Why do you want to uninstall updates?

Don't pick a fight with an old man.
If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here or maybe its me
If you are trying to "uninstall" the installed updates you need to follow
Mike's advice
If you are trying to uninstall the downloaded update files that Update has
waiting for you to install
you need more advice because they are not the same thing.

Open the Vista Update manager and look to see whats ready to install ,pick
the ones you want to install and leave the
rest until someone comes along that knows the answer...I don't.

You select the Update in question and expand it. Then put a checkmark to where it
says on the bottom of that Update "Hide this Update"

Great solved....

Found the solution from this link:
http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-t...-Vista-updates

under the below section:

Updates - delete history of all installed updates

1 In the Start menu search box, type "services.msc" and press Enter
2 Stop the Windows Update service (leave the window open - you will restart
the service in step 4)
3 Navigate to your Windows folder (C:\WINDOWS) and delete the folder named
"SoftwareDistribution"
4 Restart the Windows Update service
5 Open Windows Update by clicking the Start Button and entering "Windows
Update" in the search box
6 Ta-da! Windows Update states that you have never checked for updates!
Simply click "Check for Updates" and you're ready to begin installing
updates!

when I have done this steps and removed the folder then the notification
message disappeared and I got this information in Control Panel\Windows
Update

Most recent check for updates: Never
Updates were installed: Never

may it was enough to delete the folder named "Download" under
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution"

any how my issue has solved 100%

Thanks to all and hope more and more progress, God Willing.
