Update icon keeps appearing

I have XP SP2. Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - October 2005
(KB890830) does not seem to install. I have followed the download procedure
several times now but the icon for new updates keeps appearing on my taskbar.
Rebooting makes no difference.

Could there be a firewall (Zonealarm) or antivirus (Norton) conflicting with
the download? All other Windows updates have installed without this issue.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

I have the same problem. I have already tried several solutions suggested on
de microsoft site but the problem still persists.
In the logfile of the update there are lines that I can't find any
information on:
1.542: 2005/10/27 12:51:10.140 (local)
1.542:

The MSRT is supposed to be reoffered and reinstalled periodically.
Look in the mrt.log to see what it did the last time.
(Note the unexpected file name. Ref. KB890830)

Doubleclick on the icon and find out what all it wants to do?

Browse your windowsupdate.log and find out what it is doing?
